TW: This book contains Dieting/Food,Bullying, Alcohol consumption, Anxiety and Panic Attack.
If you have already graduated from high school, you should remember having the desire of - "making the last year memorable"? If you haven't graduated yet, well, you will have the urge - believe me almost everyone does.This book revolves around the very same theme but is brought to life by the characters.
The things I loved about the book ~
first, and foremost I really loved the way Haley's growth and development as a person as I could really relate to Haley to some extent.
the overall plot development was really good with the right pace and the everything was summed up beautifully.
this book deals with two major topics - mental health and body shaming and it felt really good to see the main protagonists dealing with them and growing as a person. really loved the overall positive energy of the book.
I really enjoyed the book - with its perfect balance of seriousness and humor, I felt connected to this book.
I will be looking forward to read more books by the author.

Great book. I was quite sceptical to read this book because of its premise but this book just blowed my mind.
The book is quite character driven and a tad bit predictable but it was definitely worth reading it.

While I appreciated the anxiety rep, I couldn't quite get myself to connect to this story. I liked it for the most part but the second half feels very rushed and the end felt a little... inconclusive? I'm not sure what rating to give this one so I'm leaving it blank for now.

I enjoyed this book. This book is about two teenagers who must work together even though they might not enjoy it though they start making documentaries about people's hidden talents to show who those people really are. I really enjoyed this amazing coming-of-age novel. I learned so much from it as the writing was well done and the author did a good job with sending the right message to the reader. The setting was well done in this book and I also thought the pacing was great. The plot structure was well done with the story flowing smoothly. This book deals with mental health and body shaming which was great to see how both the characters dealt with it and seeing how they grew from it.
This book is written from both Hayley and Lewis' PoV. Hayley has to face her classmates after her public breakdown and Lewis is trying to get skinny in order to get the girl he likes. I enjoyed both characters as they both had amazing character development. I also felt a little connected with them as I went through the same problem. I also have to say that the side characters were well written and were also very supportive of the main characters. They brought in positive energy and I enjoyed reading about them too. There is romance in this book but I didn't really enjoy it as much. It was cute but I have to say that it wasn't needed in the book in my opinion.
The ending was well written and ended off with the right note. In this book, I just enjoyed the message I received as I thought it was well written especially for this current time period. I only had a problem with the romance in this book but overall it was greatly written. I will most likely be reading more books from this author in the future. I recommend this book to fans of Our Fault in Our Stars and All the Bright Places.

Okay, I think this book proves that I can’t read high school YA anymore. At least not YA about the perils of high school. It’s been years since I’ve been in high school, and while I 100% sympathize with these teenagers, I can’t empathize in the same way anymore.
