As a person who has dealt with similar thoughts, I think this book was extremely well-written. I read it all in a day (even though I have exams coming up)! The characters have a such real, relatable relationships with the people around them, and I found it really interesting that the book didn't have a particular romantic subplot. It is truly inspiring and hope-giving.
