I loved this book! Every character is so beautifully flawed and human. They just jumped off the page for me. Even when plot points were predictable, they were executed so well that it felt like a reward instead of a cop-out. A depiction of modern teenagehood and contemporary understanding of mental illness that feels real instead of overbearing. There is so much love and tenderness poured into this book.
