Oh my god… I have no words. Absolutely none... I don't write much reviews so bear with me here.
I went into this semi-blind, taking the content warnings into consideration. And I'm glad I didn't go into this blind because I don't think my mental health could handle it.
This book literally excelled my expectations and to be honest, this book kept me locked in so hard that I had to force myself to put it down (yes it's that good). A complete 10000/10 and a definite reread.
If you are someone that plans on reading this, please do look up the content warnings as this book has a lot of touchy subjects.
Moderate: Racism, Bullying, Racial slurs, Stalking, Emotional abuse, Panic attacks/disorders, Forced institutionalization, Homophobia, Blood, Car accident, Outing, Gun violence, Murder, Toxic relationship, and Sexism
Minor: Suicide attempt, Sexual assault, Alcohol, Suicidal thoughts, Death of parent, Drug use, and Vomit
