I don’t love YA books written as a series of poems and/or vignettes. Still trying to put my finger on why. I guess I just want more substance and less… melodrama? All in all, I thought it was really cool that this was based on her own experience and how understandable her reactions to everything were. And I love a book that fights stigma. So even if the writing wasn’t my cup of tea, I’m glad I read it and would recommend.
