I don't remember the last time I read something this sad and bittersweet. 

It's a dangerous game to talk about mental health issues in books. Here it is done pretty well. I liked the portrayal of emotions and trying to learn them.

The characters were so soft, I just wanted to hug them and tell them that it's okay.

The pov of a kid is not done really well.

Lovely and sad. Sad and lovely. A REALLY GOOD BOOK!
