2.75

Amazing book but disappointing conclusion. Wallace shouldn’t be forgiven that easily, and I hope it was emphasized how Eliza and her parents’ relationship is also largely affected because Eliza doesn’t reach out and is not willing to understand where her parents are coming from and become more open towards her parents. Also, I hoped she was shown to try and spend time and get to know her brothers more. She apologized to her friends but not to her brothers.

Edited to 2.75 because I just can’t stand that Wallace was so self centered and that he never really acknowledged Eliza’s very real problems that he dismissed because he apparently has it worse.

The content relating to suicide appears rather suddenly in the book, then reappears later just as suddenly. It is not handled perfectly, but I do appreciate that the young people affected by the events are shown attending therapy later on.

My brain is so fried now that I don't think I could give you my full thoughts right this second but this book really is as good as everyone says it is!

anime917's review against another edition

The first half of the book to mid part of the book was really good but the last half decided to be harmful and not good. 2 stars
