I'm a little bit obsessed with this book. Any book that has an interactive feel - photos, scraps of letters, playlists - to it will catch my attention, and the descent from white to dark black pages kept me flipping through the book as August struggled to manage his friend's mental health.

This is a codependent, toxic relationship, but one that you can actually understand, and that you can root for. August and Jack are clearly more than friends, and you can see August's struggles with that as he tries to project a straight persona around his peers.

The ending had a surprising twist, while clearly showing that love cannot cure what is happening to Jack. The black pages actually offered a sense of relief, and gave me hope that while Jack and August may still have problems, with help they could work through it.
