Read this book in one day which says something. Just got totally wrapped up in the relationship and had to see how it played out. Can't wait to watch the tv adaptation now!

Wow this was bad. 2 dimensional characters who are both special and unique spend thousands of hours together yet somehow never find a way to communicate how they feel. I definitely get the vibe that the author is going for but it just doesn't work for me. I also find it so difficult to read books where characters have these mental illnesses that are romanticized. But instead of getting help the characters just keep living and being edgy and miserable and somehow that's the story? No thanks
