Tori has fascinated me for a while and I was excited to get her story. While Tori was definitely very relatable at times (the depression and loneliness and struggling to fit in) I do think Oseman has become a stronger writer since so I wouldn't necessarily recommend this book over others. I was also a little confused by the ending. While this was an enjoyable read for the most part I probably won't be revisiting this one. I do, however, hope that Oseman will be writing more about her in the future!
