This book was GREAT! except it wasn't really for me,,, i think my main issue with it is that it's so real. I'm 17 and I've been struggling with depression for almost 3 years so I feel very understood from this book and its characters and I've caught myself dropping a tear or two whenever Craigs Family were just the cutest support system ever (wish i had that)
BUT, I really cannot be bothered with books written by men tbh,,, apart for the blatant romanticisation of mental illness and suicide,, the way the main character kept on having the most disrespectful, disgusting thoughts about girls just triggered me immensely,, not the mention the random ass men that kept on sexualizing the 15 year old Noelle..
