I'm mixed on this book. While I absolutely devoured it (the plot moves quickly and I did enjoy the main romance), so much was so disappointing. The solution did not live up to my expectations set by the title. Mental illness, cheating, and homosexuality are represented stereotypically. I kept reading waiting for a complete turn that would surprise me but it never came and I left totally unsatisfied.

I truly enjoyed reading this book, it was an easy yet interesting read. My only problem with it is the lack of completion. It was left open-ended and I hate when authors do that. The characters were easy to like and there was a relatable trait in all of them.
