I really liked this book, especially the first half. It described the feelings of depression in a very good way. I was afraid that the book would romanticize mental illnesses, and sadly it kind of did. The first half was very good as I said, but after the romance between them started it seemed like a relationship can fix severe mental illnesses, which I think is kind of ignorant. If you can ignore that it’s a little bit romanticized I really think it was a great read.
