Trigger Warnings for this book: Self-Harm.
This book has a special place in my heart. For two reasons:
1) Amazing Representation. The OCD was written so well in this book, I related so hard and it kinda made me happy to know that what I think about a situation there are other people who think some-what similar things. The Agoraphobia in this book was also well written (based on what I do know of agoraphobia). Another well written topic which rarely comes up in these books is the overwhelming need to have control over situations, which is usually denied by most mental illnesses. Just over all everything was so well written.
2) This book was funny. I mean I laughed out loud and spit water on my carpet kinda funny. (It missed the book don't worry ;) My swerving skills are on point). There were so many things in this book that made me smile, and I like it when books give me emotions???
And Luke was pretty darn cute. Trying to be Norahs' friend even though she was hiding from him most of the time at the beginning. These characters were such beans.
The writing of this book was amazing though! I read in one sitting, couldn't get out of it!
Will definitely be looking out for more books by this author! <3
