This volume focus on Charlie’s eating disorder. I thought it to be very educational for teenagers who are going through the similar situation, specially that the author has demonstrated through the story the importance of creating a support network with Nick and Charlie looking for the support of their parents, specialist in the field, teachers and friends. That is an important message for teenagers, that tend to try to solve things by themselves, which can be dangerous for their health and potentially harmful to their relationship. At the end, as they sought for support, neither of them got emotionally overwhelmed and their relationship became stronger. Very wise!

I don’t really know how to feel about this book…
It is a really powerful story, but it felt a lot more like a self-help book for people with mental illness/their loved ones than an actual novel.
I would have loved if it was executed differently so there was a little more actual story than there was.

It is definitely my favourite of the series so far. It was so emotional and endearing but sad and very realistic at the same time. I thought it gave a great perspective of eating disorders (that could also be applied to mental health issues in general) and I can't wait to see these characters evolve more and be happy <3.
