This book was almost 5 stars for me, but not quite because it was pretty triggering sometimes. I would definitely recommend it, but would also recommend to definitely look through the tws. I think this book is really special in a way, that probably everyone will see themselves in the book somehow. It articulates thoughts and feelings very well and gives you stuff to think about. This book dives into so many heavy topics, it’s a really good but also difficult read! 
I think the book really showcases how messy, beautiful, confusing and hard it is to be a teenager.

katrina_ingram's review against another edition

3.5

A hard hitting ya coming of age story that deals with mental health, sex, drinking and drugs, school and other teenage issues. As someone who has always struggled with mental health, and having a daughter who has struggled too this hit a little too close to home for me to fully enjoy it. I like to read to escape and while I knew what to expect it was still more real than I wanted. I do think it’s an important book for younger people to read though.
