Holy hell. That was easily one of the best YA contemporaries I've read in a LONG time and I'm so amazed that this is Gibson's debut. I can't wait to see what she writes next! I definitely recommend checking out the list of TWs below if you're concerned, because there is a lot going on in this book. I'm clearing out my RTC shelf right now and realizing I can't give this book a full review that does it justice since it's been so long since I read it, but I might have to fit in a re-read soon just to fix that.

Content warnings:

Spoiler

explicit descriptions of suicide and self-harm, drug usage and overdose, slut-shaming, homophobia, parental abuse, teen/child homelessness, shaming of religious and spiritual beliefs

Thank you so much to the publisher for providing me with this review copy in exchange for an honest review!
