Definitely pay attention to content warnings when it comes to this book. I think this was a very emotionally fraught read, not in a bad way, but it takes its toll. It was beautifully sad listening to Ariel’s thoughts and how subconsciously afraid she sounds when dealing with her own inner turmoil. She doesn’t feel normal, like she fits into any space, like she’s uniquely different. What she has yet to realize is that OCD plays a gigantic factor. Along with unsupportive parents and many other things, she’s riding this roller coaster alone. This book also reads in verses and its refreshingly different and I think eased the darkness. I absolutely loved it yet need time to recover from it.

Thank you to the publisher and the author!
