Really enjoyed, but ultimately this wasn't written for my white, 30 something perspective. Some of the teenager interaction and motivations dragged (again, my problem not an issue with the book). I wish Helene was was a POV character but I can understand why not.

Average but will draw in people who identify with the characters mental health challenges. The Beauty & The Beast retelling elements pay off nicely in later books, but drag a bit.
