I don’t think I have ever read a book with such an intense “it’s complicated” when asked if the characters are loveable

My list applies for the entire series. Absolutely not for the faint of heart, take care of yourself. If literally any of this bothers you, do NOT read this or any other book in the series, I am so serious.

This is objectively a bad book. It’s chock full of misinformation about mental health, trauma p0rn and edgy shit BUT, you truly cannot help bonding with these characters. I hate how much I loved these people. I can’t in good conscience though give it a higher rating.

this read like a fanfic, except that I did not know the characters beforehand (so there was nothing to be waiting for), nor did the writing manage to make me attached to any of them. Horrible, even demonizing portrayal of mental illnesses; please refrain from writing characters with a mental illness if you can only depict them as a twisted monster :)
