I loved this book so much. It was a random one I grabbed off the shelf in the library to tide me over until my waiting list books were ready and I’m so glad I picked it. The character development is so thoughtful and done with care. I fell in love with the characters and their story. The depiction of mental health, the struggles that come with it, and the difference that a strong support network and meaningful work in your life can make was powerful. I laughed, I smirked, I cried (kind of a lot at one point). I haven’t loved a book this much since my last TJR book, and that’s hard to beat.
