While I enjoyed the world building in this story (the characters are assigned a school project that takes them on adventures to unique places in their home state), the love story didn’t build tension as much I tend to prefer. I found it a bit predictable, though the reveal at the end was still emotional and raw nonetheless. This is not a read for anyone who is triggered by suicide or suicidal thoughts, but I thought the book did a good job showing a wholistic view of someone with bipolar disorder.

I think this was my third re-read. I thought I remembered it too well to cry this time, but I still ended up bawling (which is a good thing).

This book eats me up from the inside. Reading Theodore's point of view can kill me. Poor my baby blue.
