Não sei porque, mas esperava algo bem diferente, a experiência foi igualmente boa por conta da lindeza que é a ilustração e escolha de cores, da vontade de fazer quadros com partes do livro, mas em relação a história eu esperei muito que a Freddy se ferrasse só porque eu fui a amiga deixada de lado muitas vezes, mas mesmo assim foi muito interessante ver a forma como ela começa a perceber os seus erros e a seguir em frente com tudo isso, acho que é um livro necessário para adolescentes, para perceberem que relacionamento tóxico vem de muitas formas, e que se aquilo não te ajudar a ser alguém melhor, não tá te levando a lugar nenhum

This was one of those where I obviously am missing something. Of course, that's because books, like most things, are subjective, so what works for some people won't necessarily work for others.
In fairness, I also think a lot of my attitude about YA lately comes from my being not at all YA. I get impatient with a lot of YA's themes, even though I don't get impatient with actual YA people. Teenage years are confusing and awkward and hard. I don't care how old I get, I won't forget that.
But so many of the YA books I read are just so angsty, and this one was no exception. A huge part of my problem was my inability to understand why Freddy lets Laura walk all over her. What is special about Laura? She flakes on Freddy constantly, is never there when Freddy needs her. I got tired of seeing Freddy be such an absolute doormat.
I think what kept me from flat-out disliking this book was Freddy's relationship with Doodle. I really liked that subplot, and I really appreciated that Freddy's actions had stakes, since sometimes stakes seem sorely lacking in YA.
All in all, while I appreciated the message of this book, that being in a relationship that makes you miserable and constantly leaves you wondering is not a healthy relationship, I wish the book had focused more on this and less on some other elements. I think it tried to cram too much in, and in the end it felt too message-y for me and not enough like a natural story.

Really great art and I enjoyed how this book explored how toxic relationships can affect an individual. The ending was super sweet too!

Gorgeous art. The story had so much promise, but most of it fell a little flat. I think it would have benefited a little more depth or details on some events. Maybe that's just me.
