I didn't have a good time with this. It was meandering and it didn't always seem entirely sure of what it was trying to say. The ending was very "love is the answer to everything" in a way that didn't seem to truly address most of what the rest of the book was about? And the characters were a bit insufferable.

Almost 5 stars, because this book was amazing, it did make my anxiety worse again ,_, I still loved it tho!!! I think it portrays anxiety in a realistic, non-romanticized way.
