A super cute story. I appreciated how all the side characters had their own growth and development. It was also nice to see everyone doing what was best for them instead of just revolving around the main character. Addressed some tough topics in a great way.

The art in this book is beautiful and I liked the characters and their friendships. The author is clearly talented. However, I wasn’t expecting this book to be so depressing. Nothing about the cute cover, title, and description prepared me for how heavy-hearted this book would make me feel.
It’s character-driven without much character growth, and I’m not sure the author does the difficult topics justice. There is a small content warning which I missed, but it still wouldn’t have prepared me. It’s not the mention of eating disorders or self-harm that were depressing but the self-hatred.
As someone who dealt with an eating disorder, depression, self harm, and panic attacks as a teenager, I’m trying to think about how this book would have made me feel if I’d read it then and I honestly don’t know. Proceed with caution. It’s not an easy read.
