Optimists Die First by Susin Nielsen
3.0
3.5/5
Either YA publishing is going crazy for this tragedy + self-hatred + love story combo at the moment, or I'm just picking up a lot of books with those elements. Not a criticism mind, I've known what to expect each time - and I do enjoy a bit of sad!YA every now and then.
This one is probably my favourite of the ones I've read - mostly because of the fact that it features a cat-adaptation of Wuthering Heights. Genius. Also crafts, more cats and a Moomin reference.
If you liked Our Chemical Hearts and Not If I See You First, this will be up your street.
