I'm glad that Charlie is quite better now and that she has started her new journey in her life and I hope once she got to Paris she will be able to meet her friend Ellis.

I wasn't a big fan of the age difference between Charlie and Johnnie. It was only mentioned once that it might not be appropriate, but I couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable about it. On the other hand, I understand what it's like to be in a broken state and I've known other individuals who have been through similar experiences like Charlie. Unfortunately, things like that can happen, especially when you're in a vulnerable situation. And at 17, you tend to romanticize certain things, just as Charlie did.

I wasn't quite satisfied with Johnnie's redemption at the end, it felt rushed and not deserved to me. 

However, I loved everything else about the book. I used to struggle with self-harm, but it's been about 10 years since I last did it. This book really captured the emotions and thought processes that go through your mind when you're in that dark place, it was so relatable. It also made me realize how far I've come since then. I was able to read through the book without feeling triggered, which showed me that I'm finally in a good place surrounded by people who truly love and understand me. They want me by their side simply because of who I am, not because I'm useful to them. There's no manipulation, no toxic words or actions, just pure love.
