so i read this after all of alice osemans other books which is to say i think her writing has improved and my astronomically high expectations of this book were let down. that being said it's still a time. it baffles me that nick and charlie were just side characters here at first. this book is about mental health and emotions and therefore it has to been sort of intangible. im not sure of any other way it could have been done. i thought it was clear from jump tori was struggling with depression so maybe that's why the end didn't hit as hard?
