This book is one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read. The story is very well put together and flowed through nicely. There are a few parts of the book where I lost interest and it felt like the author was just trying to lengthen the book, but I was proven wrong because all of those moments contribute to the outcome of the book. 
The way the author never fully describes Finch’s bipolar disorder shows how a lot of people’s mental health goes unlabeled and we should look out for certain signs. 

This book also teaches a lot of valuable lessons about consent when you’re in a relationship. The most important lesson to take away from this book is to always be there for others because they may seem like they have it together but on the inside they just want to leave.

This is my own message to anyone who is reading this but please look out for your loved ones. 
It doesn’t hurt to ask them how they’re doing every once in a while and it’s definitely not weird. You never know when you can unexpectedly save a life.
