Caddy is a bit of an annoying girl. But I guess that makes sense, since she's sixteen and we've all been like that - stupid nd selfish worries about not having a boyfriend or being too boring. I just wanted to roll my eyes at her a lot. This book is about friendship, which is different. No romance, at all. I think it's very close to reality: girls are mean and selfish. Specially when it comes to each other. It also concerns mental illness, and it can be a bit of an open-eyes too. Not one of my favourites, didn't touch me that much, but it is good one.

I was privileged to read this book during its final stages of creation. It is breathtaking, brilliantly woven together, and a fantastic window into teen mental health and all that comes with it.

You have to read this book.

This book has beautifully explained how important it is to not act on the urge to make things okay always and just to be. It was difficult for me to understand Caddy first, like her sister said she was steady and full of empathy, but it was interesting to see how she was brave and saved Suzie in the end.I have cried two times reading this book. It was mostly because of how at worst moments tooo Caddy just understood and got the emotions so perfectly.
