This is one of my favourite books from my teenage years and such an important read for all in its discussion of feminism and mental health.

An overall positive experience. I liked the way OCD disorders are treated in this book; I found the main character very realistic and some of the things she says about mental health are powerful and should be read by everyone. I found, though, the 'feminist' part of the book quite disappointing, it's like the author was trying to say something but in the end the message didn't quite reach me (or at least that's the impression I got in listening to the audiobook). I'd still recommend this book, it's quite moving and, at times, I felt I was reliving some of my own teenage years !

great book, and very enlightening about mental illness. i really enjoyed it would recommend to anyone.

This was an amazing read. I really loved the writing style. I really loved Evie. She was a sweet character. I really liked how she found herself some new friends who will always be there for her. She did meet some jerks in her life. First Ethan and then Guy. The ending was a cliffhanger, but it made me hopeful for Oli and Evie. I can't wait to see what book two has in store. Overall, an incredible read.
