This is an easy five stars. This book examines mental health, coming of age, para social relationships, fandom, and friendship all in really direct ways. I loved each and everyone of these characters and how they felt like puzzle pieces to their own very messed up lives. This wasn’t an easy read, but I found it hopeful and comforting to know I’m not alone.
