This book was really nice to read and not at all boring or annoying- which I feared because I haven’t really gotten the hang of YA fiction in a while. The last 50-ish pages were an emotional rollercoaster  and while that’s not at all how I imagined it to work out, I really like it the way it did!!

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CONTENT WARNINGS INCLUDE SPOILERS. HOWEVER, I THOUGHT SOMEONE SHOULD ADD THEM!

I have added all and every topic I could think of for a content warning and categorized them as good as possible. It might seen a lot, but it partially gets “lost” in the plot. However, please be careful when you’re reading this book!!

i loved this book, the characters are so lovable and the story is so interesting. the ending was a bit cheesy with the video but ignoring that it was a good ending, especially

she’s death now? but honestly good for her that her first goal is to go to jonah’s dad because fuck him

 

please before you read be careful of triggers and read the content warnings <3

“Everyone we let into our lives has the power to hurt us. Sometimes they will and sometimes they won’t, but that’s not a reflection of us, or our strength. Loving someone who hurts you doesn’t make you weak.”

I picked up this book because I had read House of Hollow by the same author, and the cover and description spoke to me. 
I was sucked in from the first page, finding Esther quirky and weird, with a very active imagination and Jonah adorable and loving. 
Somewhere in the middle I strayed away; maybe because some of the topics hit a little close to home. I nearly didn’t pick the book back up but after a few weeks I was ready to finish it. And I’m so glad I did. The ending wrapped everything up really well, while still leaving parts open to your own interpretation. 
While the character are mostly lighthearted and joke about their problems, this book explored a few different mental health issues in great detail, through the eyes of a girl with a very active imagination. 
I definitely highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to read about different types of love and fear, and explore mental health issues in a really imaginative way.
