Gregorio, the author, tackles a difficult, but important topic in this YA contemporary novel. Both of the main characters, Jocelyn and Will, live with mental illness. However, their experiences with receiving help differ drastically. I really enjoyed reading this novel and could relate to it in a very specific way. I have both anxiety and depression (the two illnesses focused on in this book) and first experiences symptoms when I was in high school, like the characters. I don't think this book received the hype it deserved when it was first published last year and I recommend taking the time to give this title a try!
