Review:
~I'd like to thank the author for sending me a free copy in exchange for my honest review!~
Wow, this was a deep book. It had lots of emotion poured into it about how it feels like to have a mental illness, especially when you have no one to turn to about it. Throughout this book, you can see the importance of having good mental health, and how so often people just dismiss it, or label mental health as a "choice", which it isn't.
Overall, this was a great book. It had relatable characters, a nice writing style, and a wonderful journey. Recommended!
Things I Loved:

Recommended?: Yes!
