I’m having a hard time reviewing this book, because even though there were things I didn’t like, I overall enjoyed the book.
Things I did not like:
1. I thought the plot was weird, and at times it made me a little uncomfortable…
2. Some of the characters!
3. While I liked that it deals with some bigger topics such as identity and mental health, I did not like how it felt glossed over.
It was basically every page that had some variation of “I hate myself so much I don’t want to be alive”, and at no point did they actually address it properly.


Also would definitely recommend checking the trigger warnings before reading:)
