This is a thought-provoking book which approaches mental health in a relatable yet new light. It touches the surfaces of issues such as depersonalization and depression without them being the sole focus of the plot and some other things which are not common topics such as supporting a family member with an eating disorder. The main character, Tori, is very well written with an amusing personality. I didn't find the ending very surprising however it was fun to guess what was going to happen as I read and I was still very intrigued in the plot despite having strong feelings about what might happen. It was very easy to read and I felt as if I got to know many of the characters and could identify with most of them through their teen-like traits. The narrative voice of Tori was definitely my favourite part of the book and I am eager to read more of Oseman's books because of this.

it was amazing, I love so much Tori spring and she's fabulous. I recognize myself a lot in this character and that's terrific. This book helps me so much and gives me a lot of hope for my future and I ned that right now.
