slow start to this book, definitely had high school english class energy and a lack of early explanations that made it hard for me to get into at first but once i got into it i found this book really inspiring. although i don’t have it as rough as deborah i identified with the way she struggled with her mental health and loved that it wasn’t a clear cut ending where she gets fully better
