This was my second time reading this book, but I didn’t remember anything so I’m counting it as my first time. I really liked it! It was very 2000s and a little confusing at times, but I was very captivated by the plot and will be reading the next book ASAP!

i enjoyed this book. it wasn’t what i expected. the plot was a loose hanging thread and the characters have severe cases of latent misogyny but it was a fun read. i think it barely passes the Bechdel test tho. also the main love interest is possessive and weird in a way that only Harry Styles wattpad fan fiction readers can enjoy but hey, it was written in 2011. also the whole portrayal of mental health was kinda sucky. but the symptoms for the most part were kind of accurate!
