Call It What You Want by Alissa DeRogatis

challenging emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated

3.5

This was a whirlwind of emotions for me. I have never read a book like this one. It is the most accurate representation of a girl's mind, and I cannot stress enough how relatable the plot and writing is. It felt like Derogatis dug into my brain and put my thoughts onto a paper. Situationships are hard, but this novel conveys them perfectly. This is not your typical romance story, but I think that is the beauty of it. This is an ode to finding yourself and knowing your worth.
