This book felt disappointing.
Don't get me wrong, I love it when there is mental health representation because mental health means so much to me. This book is amazing for having many different kind of real-life struggles in its book, however the overall feel of this book left something to be desirable. I felt like the conflict near the end was shoved in just so it had a conflict, and multiple times I could not keep up what was going on.
Great idea, poor execution.
