I couldn't put it down. They way the author described mental illnesses of the characters was so accurate for me. The characters need therapy but man did I enjoy reading this. It felt so raw and real.

fast-paced

1.75

Thankfully I listened to the audiobook version of this. I would not be able to handle the no quotations marks.

I do get why people like this book but it’s a no for me.
