The premise of the book is good, speaking up about your struggles is very important.
I loved Melinda's development, it was very well-paced and really refreshing.
However, I'm not the biggest fan of stories whose main character gets most of the development, which explains the 3.75 star rating.
If that's your kind of thing, then you should definitely read this book :)
