A review by janelleleigh12
When We Collided by Emery Lord

3.0

I loved the beginning and the end, but struggled to stay interested through the middle. Specifically, I struggled with Vivi as a narrator. It’s in our nature to root for the narrator, but I thought Vivi was unreliable and unworthy of the love that Jonah Daniels and his family gave to her. Upon completing the book, I realize that Emery Lord was providing a commentary on mental illness, and that explains why Vivi was unreliable... she didn’t yet fully understand herself. If you or someone you know struggles with mental illness (which seems very likely in this day and age), then this is a worthwhile read.
