This book covered mental issues very well and the struggles people with them face. It helps people understand them more. The main character (Evie) also had a journey of learning to just be herself. Evie and her friends also had a 'spinster club' where they discuss women's rights etc. I really enjoyed it!

jay_jade736's review against another edition

Evie literally laughed at Oli for being a "freak" when she herself suffers from anxiety as well. That's the most disgusting thing ever and I will never read any of the other books from this author
