Surprisingly powerful novella on how mental illness can affect every part of a family. I just wish Oliver’s chapter was longer. I would’ve been interested to read how this affect him. But still, it’s a good short read.

It was a good story but It was kind of too short, I know that it was expected but I just wanted more, not really criticizing.

Cutest thing ever!
Teared up here and there but there were happy tears. 
So cheesy but somehow realistic. 
There were scenes that were dark and tackled heavy topics like mental illness and eating disorders. Oseman represented it with respect though and this taught me a thing or two about these topics. 
Sidenote: Oliver and Harry must be protected at all times.
