I really relate to Tori. I felt the same way in high school / college. I’m sad that her parents didn’t realize she needs help. I’m sad that she had to suffer alone. I’m glad she had one true friend that wanted to help even though she kept pushing him away.

This was a great book for what it was. It was difficult for me to read because my former self related so heavily to a lot of the dark thoughts and negative self image. (Not that I’m perfectly healthy now, but certainly not as bad as I used to be.) This book should definitely come with trigger warnings, but it is nice to read about someone else feeling similar things and somehow still getting through it.
