i really loved this book, i think it was greatly written and really made me look through the eyes of those who have suffered. i will say i was not expecting the use of self harm throughout the beginning of the book but that’s on me for not looking at the trigger warnings.
i loved melinda’s growth as a person and the strength she has found in herself. my heart went out to her throughout the entire book.

omfg. woooowwww. the plot twist???? FUCKING CRAZY DUDE HOLY WOW I LOVED IT!!
honestly i really liked this book, it was amazing reading this, i won’t lie i did feel like it was slow when building up to the storyline but i felt like it was needed. the characters were a little annoying, *ahem alice* but i get why she was written like that, also along with what she was dealing with i don’t blame her for doing the things she did. but anyways fuck nathan <3

i really liked this book, so glad i saw a tiktok pop up with the TRIGGER WARNING FOR THIS BOOK. even then with the warnings it was still shocking to see / read what all charlie has been through. 
it breaks my heart learning what she’s been through and why she is the way she is, and she’s just so dear to me because she overcame it. i’m so proud of her and it was amazing to see her grow over time. 
i loved all the people who were there for her. this book was excellently written, especially with such a heavy topic, i think the author did a great job with showing the readers what it was like dealing with s3lf h4rm.

the one thing that i didn’t like was riley and charlie. i hated that he was 10 years older than her and still preyed and latched onto her, not only making shit worse for her but for him as well. they both just weren’t meant to be with one another, especially with her just getting a taste of the real world again. i did not like this relationship at all, he changes over time but he was a walking red flag from the beginning.

i liked this better than the first book. it was good im ngl but the ending felt really rushed and incomplete. i liked the dynamic gianna and christian had, i loved them, especially gianna.

ok the minute i opened the book and saw how pathetic / embarrassing hannah was acting around justin gave me second hand embarrassment so bad i stopped the damn book for so long.
but actually getting past that, the book wasn’t too bad. it was definitely overhyped as hell, gave off major wattpad vibes, so many cliches, was pretty predictable (especially towards the end) but it was nice.

i loved the dynamic between poppy and hawke, very shocking towards certain points in the plot but it’s a very well written book, would definitely recommend.

it was a good book i’ll give it that, really nicely written. i went on an adventure with maddy from start to finish. i loved the ending and the last few chapters, but it was not my favorite, i’ve read better books but regardless it’s a good book.
i just couldn’t really connect with it, i loved maddy’s and olly’sh characters so much, ugh they were so cute, and i loved carla too
