This was my very first audiobook and I'm glad that it was. All of the characters were endearing and charming. They showcased how relationships are impacted by mental health and showed that just because you have these issues it doesn't mean that you are broken. All of the supporting characters felt lived in and had their own goals and dreams. That being said I felt that the main character didn't really grow as much as I would have preferred but then again he's just a kid and still trying to navigate his own life. There were sweet moments of intimacy and parts of the story that was hard to read. Some people just can't be fixed nor do they need to be.
