This book is absolutely beautiful to read and even after watching the movie already I had a great time reading this, well mostly that is. I think this book is a great representation of what it is like to be a suicidal/ mentally ill teenager. I really did feel seen reading this and I am so grateful for that. The only problem I had with this was the fact that it made me really sad and I had to take week long brakes reading this for self-care reason because reading about Charlie's suicidal thoughts was almost a little contagious. But when you take the breaks that you need this book is amazing and a must read for everyone!!
