Before I get into my review this book has some trigger warnings, there’s talk about toxic relationships, mental health. If you are triggered by any of that then do not read forward.

Stella has depression and to see her POV in the story was defiantly unique. Stella is relatable. I think a lot of teens will connect to her story.
This book does tackle some serious issues that a lot of teens are experiencing now its relevant and up to date and I think it did a good job executing the story.
I did have an issue with how the book was jumping from past, present and future. That took me a little while to get used to. Once I did I really got into the book.

This is one of the most intense reads I have had in quite some time. One of the lead characters is super intense on his own, but the whole experience of this title was just edgy and intense from moment one! I really enjoyed the experience of the protagonist...who is NOT strong or particularly resilient to begin with but finds a way to be just that as time goes on. It's heartbreaking but very real and I think my students will devour it! ☺

I liked that this book talked about the tough subjects in teenage life right now, such as mental health, self harm, and relationships, but it was a struggle for me to get through this book. It felt very slow at times. I also didn’t like how it jumped around past, present and future. If you weren’t paying attention to the chapter titles you wouldn’t really realize it!
