This book broke me. I will be thinking about it for weeks. I don't give many 5/5 stars, but this one deserves it. It has a way of making everything seem hopeful, and then taking it away, then making it hopeful again, then taking it away again, and repeateding in an endless cycle of heartbreak. I love the LGBT representation. Not many authors would have seen how the whole plot is based on domestic violence and mental health, two very controversial topics, and added in a third. 

I finished this book in math class and was on the verge of tears. Books hardly make me cry. This one was incredible.

I wasn't expecting her to be able to pull together a somewhat happy ending. Dani and Brooke are such an amazing couple. It took me a while to like Caroline, but the minute she gave Brooke the snowflake book I instantly loved her

Amber Smith is such a great mental health/ sad author. I've read 'The way I used to be', which was also such an amazing book.
