this book has touched me in the way that no other book has before. it was like looking into a mirror reflected into a mirror and on and on. olivie blake is a beautiful writer and her writing and characters feel real in a way that makes you never want to put the book down.

the writing style at the start was a little hard to get through but thankfully that style was only at the start and end, otherwise it was pretty okay and easy to get used to. i liked the characters but i thought at times, their dynamics were a bit cliched or exaggerated, which was a pity

This book is the epitome of how love and falling in love is not the cure to mental illness, but at the same time it´s unfair to think that if you have a mental illness its imposible to love someone. Onto the tecnical, its not the easiest read. Also I think you should at least be informed a little on the basics of depression/mania/bipolar to understand the characters and their behaviors.

There is nothing I can say that would properly express how I feel about this book. So good. So crazy. So genius. I’d literally cut my arm off to relive what it felt like reading this for the first time.
