So it's a few weeks after I read this book, and I've had some more time to think about it.
It's
It's so sad.
It's way sadder than the musical.

This is going to be a long one, bear with me lmao

I read this book a long time ago but I remember I was very disappointed because I loved the musical, so I had very high expectations about the book, but it's not how I expected it to be. It's okay I guess, but wouldn't read again or recommend, it's way better the musical.

When the book comes out in October it is going to be just as successful as the musical!

This tale of an extremely shy teenager who becomes popular through misspoken words, bad choices and postings on social media, works on its own as a book. I have not seen the musical, so I am not sure how close the book follows the production—one day though. Definitely getting for my 8th graders and up!

If you’ve never felt anxiety, just read this book. The writing is true and raw, which makes you cringe. You can feel the words; the anxiety within your bones. And if you are aware of anxiety and depression, this book will let you know you’re not alone. While the novel appropriately depicts struggles with mental health, I found some parts of the novel annoying. The therapist… like what!? The dad in Colorado…

Difficult but important... The musical made me feel so seen, in a way I'd never experienced before. The novel is similar, but I think it's become a painful kind of seen. An acknowledgement that I'm broken, but without a solution.
