Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an advanced audio copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.
Genuinely, I don't have much to say about this title. It was super predictable-- I predicted all of the major twists except for the one on the very last page. I think the author really thinks they did something here, but it was nothing new or special. Besides the fact that it kept mentioning the COVID pandemic being "in the past" when it most definitely isn't, it was so incredibly disrespectful regarding mental illness. The way our main characters' mental health was portrayed was so out of pocket, I found myself getting angry listening to the book and hoping that it was almost over so I could just move on to something else.
I would not recommend this title because of how mental illness was portrayed. If you want to read a book that handles mental illness much better, I would recommend Vanishing Girls by Lauren Oliver.
