This was one of those books I really struggled with. It was super well written, and I enjoyed the story, but there were so many times the main character had me banging my head against a wall. I just wanted better for her and I wanted to snap her out of it! I get that was the whole point of the book though, so obviously it was well executed. I think this is a great look into why mental health awareness is so important, especially across different cultures.
