I found this book hard to get into at first. But once I got to know all the characters properly, I fell in love. Hearing the differing struggles of Emmy and Joey was so interesting. I found the first half of the book a bit slower but once I got into part two, everything picked up and, by the end, I was tearing up. I’ll definitely be reading Girl in Pieces sometime soon.

- Easy read (4 - 6 hours)
- There was a lot of ‘white woman rainbow and sunshine’ bullshit. The whole movement thing was reminiscent of Moxie. The author, in both books, seems detached from the reality of teenagers. This stuff never happens. In both books, I hated the inclusion of social media because it was so poorly executed. The voices of teenagers written by Glasgow are so unrealistic, it makes me cringe. Also, Em having no knowledge of nudes and sexting made no sense. Lastly, the whole school bullying stuff was overdone and dramatic.
- I liked this book better than “How to Make Friends With the Dark.” The writing felt more mature, though I still found myself confused about the characters’ ages.
