This was very different from Ellen Hopkins other storytelling. I would describe this story as romance with a mystery twist. The author withholds a lot of information about the narrator and her past feeding bits and pieces throughout the book and it isn’t until the very end that the reader is sure of the real story. 

I also love that borderline personality disorder is talked about in the book. I also have bpd and it was nice to be able to see the thought processes behind what people think are manipulating and dangerous ideas
