I enjoyed this book and read it very quickly, but at the same time it was somewhat predictable - I never really felt surprised by the twists but maybe that's the point to a degree..

Will be reading the next one though, so obviously I still liked it enough!

If I cried easily at media I would have shed so many tears. Powerful. Sad. Gripping. I can't wait to pick up the second book in the series.

The book is written very poorly. Plus, I feel like the themes keep changing. Somewhere the book is encouraging violence and martial affairs.

Minor: Mental illness and Adult/minor relationship

I put the adult/minor relationship tag because technically speaking there is a relationship between an 18 year old and a 15 year old. That said, the age gap is 2 and a half years and isn't too much cause for concern in my opinion.

9/10 recommend!! It’s an amazing book for different reasons than that I thought. it was going to be starting at chapter 10 or so.  People reading this->I would not get too dreamy on the MC 2nd love interest he will be a HUGE disappointment.?

bc the brain surgeon  abu$ed her more than once. The author’s  intentions were to grow awareness of domestic violence. Showing how abusers come like wolfs hiding in sheep’s skin; they are not obvious jokers running around throwing around  laughing gas.

This has the same feel as all the bright places (10/10 recommend). In the end I would read it one more time :))
