Was there even a clear plot to this book? The only notable thing that happened was the ending. It was more centered around Tori navigating life with her mental illnesses and ruining/building relationships. The ending was very confusing and also boring and also unrealistic. The dialogue throughout was very manic-pixie-dream-boy esque. Very cringe. I did not like a single character in this book: one because I didn't get to know enough about the characters, and two because from what I did know they were annoying.
Graphic: Eating disorder, Mental illness, Self harm, Suicidal thoughts, and Suicide attempt
