I honestly was considering giving up at the beginning. It just wasn't connecting with me, but slowly I found myself more and more interested. And then it hit me and it was incredibly relatable. The main character is a great person who has struggled with mental health her whole life. People have been helpful and loving towards her about it. But she still hurt people. It was very relatable when she was finally diagnosed and realized she is not crazy or a bad person. I loved this book. I loved how they showed her being a victim but also acting meanly and then recovering those relationships. There's also lots of talk about potentially being a mother that I thought was super interesting and sad and relatable in some ways. LOVED IT!
