I bought this on a limb. I was debating buying it up until checkout. Once I got home I started it and I could not put it down! Read it all in less than a day. Really amazing book that accurately represents mental health. As a young adult I really loved all aspects of this book. There’s a little mystery and some love, it’s heartbreaking and joyous. I wished it kept going once I finished it. Get it!!
