Writing style:
I would recommend this book if you like multi-POV books. I quite enjoyed the writing style and felt like I got the 360 view of the plot and emotions of the characters. 

Content:
I’ve seen quite a few reviews of the book that say the book is too woke. To that, I say that this book does not contain only white, rich, heterosexual characters and touches on real issues and emotions associated with sexuality, race, and mental health. That should be considered normal and not woke in my opinion. I enjoyed the plot and didn’t feel sad, despite the emotionally charged content. If anything, it felt nice to read a book that, despite being a fiction book, felt real and relatable. 

TW’s:
I will say  that, I will say that it is packed with trauma so tread carefully if you have potential triggers.
