i absolutely loved jonah and his family in this book, and i think it was really wholesome to see their development throughout the book as well as jonah and vivi’s romance. i think that this book had necessary representation of mental illness, however - while i think it is important to show the ugly sides of this - some of vivi’s treatment towards jonah really annoyed me. also, a lot of vivi’s dialogue felt quite unrealistic for a teenager. despite this, i thought this was a really lovely book, and the last few chapters were so lovely and poetic to read
Graphic: Death of parent, Grief, and Mental illness
Moderate: Suicide attempt
