3.5
Very cringey at times for me, as an adult reader, only because it is clearly aimed at a younger audience and has some immature high-school talk in it that I really didn't enjoy. That being said, it really hits the nail on the head when it comes to mental health experiences, and the main character's thoughts and observations are things I could really relate to. It definitely made me tear up a couple times. I didn't know until after I read it that the author later died of suicide, which definitely affects how I see the novel.
