This book isn't too far from 13 Thirteen Reasons Why except the main character somewhat has a personality. The ending downplays the traumatic experience for Violet and it's tagged on at the last minute. She wouldn't be optimistic after losing another person in her life. Not a fan of the book romanticizing depression.

Theodore Finch, thank you for describing what the last year of my life has been like, down to the depression and manic episodes. My walls are covered in post-its now.

Beautifully written characters; you can tell the author but a piece of herself inside the story. Have a box of tissues close by for this one.
