Very emotional, yet also humorous when needed to be. The novel successfully explored mental illness and mental health in adolescents in an informative manner, so as to educate but also, imo resonate and reassure with those who are struggling themselves. Beautifully written to portray the ups and downs of friendships as well. Overall, I loved it!

Please be aware that there is sexual assault/ sexual harassment as well as detailed accounts of the impacts of OCD especially. Please only read this if you feel you are in the right head space to do so.
