I received an eARC through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
4.5 stars.
A dedication to all goth girls out there and a heartfelt tribute to mental illness, in all its various forms.
This story has wit, sass, nerdy fun but it also has really deep and meaningful conversations throughout. It truly highlights the highs and lows of being a foster child and the desperate need for connection that can sometimes come from those situations.
I truly adored the characters growth throughout and the very raw and real ending.
