I read this book in a day. I just couldn’t stop. Is the overall ending predictable and does the author bash you over the head with what Nora learned? Yes. But nothing wrong with feeling good. Not every book has to be both life changing and a new form of its art.

The plot wasn’t what I was expecting (I went in without knowing what it was about) but it was really good! It started off slow and I almost DNF’d but glad I kept going through. It is predictable but the character growth is exciting to watch. The author did a perfect job at explaining Nora’s depression. As someone with depression it’s often hard to explain or express the deep feeling of loneliness and self hate.

loliamkara's review against another edition

The main character’s story was about suicide and the will to live, and when I first started reading this, I had just gotten out of the hospital because of acting on those thoughts as she struggles with. I’ve tried to read it multiple times since, but it brings up too many painful memories. I’d love to finish reading it someday. It just might take me a while before that can be possible. 

Sad stuff.
