God this book was too relatable. I feel so much for Charlie. I want to sympathize with her but sometimes it’s too much. I want to sympathize with Riley but he’s in the wrong. I’m glad she got the ending she deserved.

Look into the triggers of this book, it goes into detail about self harm and has caused many people to relapse.

For people who have someone close to them who is in a dark place. It’s for them to read and get to understand more about mental illness. 
I do not recommend this to mentally ill people. Too brutal and triggering.

2.5

• Long read (10 hours)
• Factually inaccurate about hospitals, has terrible and unrealistic dialogue, and too much italicization (I just don't like her writing style.) The book got really boring after Blue returned. The trauma wore the character due to poor character development.
• I liked the writing from Louisa.

Relatable if you have mental illnesses. One of the characters is an asshat.
