My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga

2.0

---

Mixed feelings on this one. I liked the characters, but the storyline was a bit too close to the 'love fixes mental illness' trope that too many YA books have fallen into. The ending also felt very rushed:

I wanted a deeper exploration of Aysel's feelings after Roman's suicide attempt, and her reconciliation with her mum was also dealt with too quickly and seemed too easy.

I liked Jasmine Warga's writing style though and I'd be interested to read another of her books sometime.
