I didn't particularly love the characterizations of ADHD and anxiety in the story. There was a lot of focus on feeling flawed because of the disorders. Which is understandable but also frustrating.

There's also a main plot point that is used to characterize Theo as "dangerous" for Paige and it was so annoying because it so obviously wasn't intentional at all. So I found it difficult to buy into the drama around them feeling like they shouldn't be together. 

I also found the plot a little bit lackluster, and the wrap-up was really fast. 

Still, I did like Theo and Paige, and it's nice to see somewhat realistic representations of mental illness in young adult fiction.

Love the writing style! I also love the idea of the story... the ending just made no sense and I could not understand it. Definitely ruined the book for me.
