I was kind of underwhelmed by this book. I heard it was this interesting and maybe controversial book about teenagers with mental health struggles but it was tamer than expected. Sure they deal with a lot but the book fails to truly make me care about the characters like other books do. It wasn’t very thought provoking, just kind of sad and it seems pointless. Over all, you wouldn’t miss anything really great with not reading this book, except the post-it wall thing, I’m definitely stealing that idea for my own room.

I must say, if you struggle with depression, be aware that this might trigger you. It is beautifully written, the characters have very realistic flaws, they deal with consequences and on top of that it is really eye opening with lots of meaningful quotes.
Glad that i read it.
