Beautiful book about anxiety, depression, and grief. While it was a bit young for me personally, it definitely would have resonated with me deeply if I had read it when I was in high school. Eliza was a bit hard to like for me personally because she complained about all her privileges and was a bit selfish. A lot like I was back in the day… all of the feelings she expressed though were ones I’d definitely felt and feel regularly.

This story is really good. I feel for the characters and relate to them in amazing ways. The book is mainly about finding yourself when you thought you already knew yourself. But a lot of the situations in the book is also dealing with depression and working creatively for someone instead of yourself. And hiding yourself from someone for your own reasons. Then that secret coming to life. I hope this isn’t too spoiler-y as it’s just a different way of saying the summary but ya. I really enjoyed the book.
