I have never seen myself in a character more than I have with Frances. Her and Aled's friendship is my favourite thing in the world.

This book was so incredible! I find a lot of the time that authors make mental illnesses sound terrifying and while I know that they aren’t sunshine and butterflies it’s nice to see it in a way that doesn’t give you nightmares. This book was absolutely incredible especially if you really love side characters stories!
