I really liked this book. Maddie is really relatable and I love how the topics of grief and mental health were dealt with.

The themes of this book do not become obvious until 3/4s of the way through. The author tells, not shows, the themes through the main character's narration. I still enjoyed this book and felt that the themes were important and original.
