I listened to this once before, but I thought I didn't love it AS much as I could have, so I decided to relisten to it and I definitely think I took it in better this time!
Things I love:
-The anxiety and depression representation
-The focus on how guilt over having privilege while dealing with bad mental health can make your mental health even worse
-Json and Mickey's insult game
-Mickey's struggle with his relationship with his family (the bit where he tells his dad he doesn't even have a bedroom at his father's house always kills me)

I'm pretty reasonable, when there is a zamboni mentioned I smile.
The characters in this were actually pretty good, MC had some realistic mental health struggles going on, and the relationship he found himself in felt realistic enough. I cried twice, but neither was from the romance. Far from the worst YA romance I've ever read (or in this case, listened to)

Ah, che peccato. Davvero un gran peccato, che questo libro abbia avuto un finale talmente deludente da far colare a picco la mia impressione generale dell'opera. Non l'avrei mai detto all'inizio, considerato che era partito col botto e mi ha tenuta incollata all'iPad finché non ne ho letto il 50% - tutto di fila, cosa che non faccio letteralmente mai! - ma devo dire che già da lì in poi, il mio interesse ha cominciato a scemare, per poi completamente spegnersi a tipo due capitoli dalla fine. È stato proprio a questo punto che ho capito che non ci fosse neanche lontanamente abbastanza tempo per risolvere tutti i conflitti se non frettolosamente e alla buona, che poi è - purtroppo - esattamente ciò che è successo. Ne sono davvero molto dispiaciuta, e non capisco come mai A.L. Graziadei non sia sia presx, se non il lusso di un sequel, quantomeno quello di qualche capitolo in più - o, meglio ancora, sarebbe bastato mettere meno carne al fuoco. Ma tant'è...
Gli do comunque tre stelle perché la prima metà è stata spettacolare, coinvolgente da morire, mi ha tenuta col fiato sospeso finché Mickey e Jaysen non hanno finalmente concluso, ma il resto...

Very nice, very nice, but where's the rest of it? This really felt like the first few chapters of a story that should have been much longer. Mainly because none of the issues brought up in it could be properly addressed much less resolved in such a hasty manner, and leavings so many of them open-ended just seems in bad taste.
Also, this book unfortunately suffers badly from telling and not showing, especially when Mickey's mental health is concerned. But I admit that it's a challenge to showcase certain things as they are.
