Wow I’m still kind of reeling so my rating may change a little once I’ve processed it but it was okay. It was good but I didn’t think it was life changing. The ending felt a little sudden but that seemed intentional. I didn’t love the characters or really the plot but I still must say that it was pretty good. It was also a super quick read. Some pretty heavy topics are covered so make sure to read the content warnings!!

I feel weird about this depiction of depression. I also hated the portrayal that losing her virginity had to hurt, when it doesn't (my least favorite trope). Also, too much teen pregnancy.
