This book was probably the most depressing one that I’ve read all year, if not, definitely the most intense. There’s so many themes explored here. While reading I thought the writing was a smidge melodramatic (especially with jess’ chapters; no teen talks thinks like that), but I think it’s honestly deserved. I don’t really have much to say, but I do definitely recommend it
