This is a beautifully written story about friendship, mental health, and self-discovery. I cannot wait to pick up the second and soon-to-be-published third books in the series.

This book snuck up on me, punched me in the gut then stroked my head and told me everything's gonna be okay.

That is to say it was beautiful and I loved it.
