Oh my god!!! When I first read the synopsis I thought it was about a 17 year old girl finding her self. And it is that it is waaay more then they this book is very very heavy. It made me cry more then one time. I’m not upset about the way it ended per say but I’m also not thrilled. 1st off Riley is such a terrible person and I hate that he took advantage of Charlie’s mental state. But I’m glad he got better in the end. 2nd when Casper told Charlie that she was getting out of the mental institution I was like WHAT?!?! As the reader I could tell she wasn’t ready to leave yet but I know it just made the book itself better. And my point is proven which everything she does up until trying to kill herself whenever Wendy destroys her apartment. At first I thought Blues was gonna be a bad influence in was right in the sense of her doing drugs again and being apart of 1 of the many reasons Charlie tried to kill herself. But also wrong because after all that happened Blue and her became family. Riley’s sister I forget her name I feel like she should have been waaay more attention to Riley then she was especially knowing his history. I’m a sister and I know I would have made sure my brother was mentally and physically okay with the back history that Riley has. I’m glad Riley finally became better but I think he needs to do more to earn Charlie’s forgiveness. And i think if he does do more to earn Charlie’s forgiveness Charlie still shouldn’t take him back. I loved this book I really did like I said I love when an author is so good at making a story in there head that it comes out on paper so good that they can make readers cry. That is so true and raw talent right 
there.


⚠️TRIGGER WARNING:⚠️ self harm such as cutting burning and pinching. Alcohol abuse. & Drug abuse. 

Overall i am going to be rating this book 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hope this helped🖤
