wasn't a fan of this one. didn't connect to the characters and I thought at times it romanticised mental illness. I listened to the audiobook and think that was the wrong choice as I hated the actor's voices.

This book is difficult at times to follow but I think that's intentional to demonstrate the disarray of thoughts while battling mental health issues.

I started this book relatively quickly but found myself needing to slow down to process the story nearing the end. 

A difficult but poignant read, not something I would ever read again but worth reading once.

dark emotional reflective sad

• Loveable characters? Yes

5.0

I don't have enough words. Because I feel too much. But I ugly cried. I cried on my husband's shoulder, and then I read the authors note and cried again. And I read the end of the acknowledgements and cried again. 
Nothing that raises that kind of emotion in me deserves less than 5 stars. But I see how one couldn't handle what this book is saying. This is not a happy story, but... it has its moments

Please check the content warnings. 

This was not an easy book to read. I took a few breaks to feel my feelings before picking it back up. That being said, Jennifer Niven did an amazing job of showing Violet and Finch’s worlds colliding, melding, and ripping apart.
