As I mentioned before, there are different ways the characters decide to initially deal with their trauma. Some hide away, some continue their fight alone, and some drown themselves in distractions; and all are also addressed as unhealthy, in varying degrees, ways to cope. It’s clear the message of this story by the end is that you shouldn’t face your trauma or past alone, it’s necessary you be open to overcome. And if you’re only open with people who relate, that’s perfectly fine. It’s okay to rely on others for help, you don’t have to isolate yourself or try to ignore your pain.
There’s even the fact that each character shown starting the journey to regain any sort of semblance of normality starts for different reasons. To prove themselves, to do better in the future, or because their family hopes, and knows, it’ll help them out of blaming and self-loathing to have a sense of purpose.
The relationships (family, platonic, and romantic) all have their own journeys as well and they develop in very realistic ways, especially for a book with a main character who just wants to push all sorts of relationship away.
This is definitely, by far, my favorite of the ACOTAR series and has made Nesta one of my favorite character.
