Kathleen Glasgow doesn't shrink away from the tough stuff, and this book is no different. This isn't in any way an easy read, but it's definitely an important one for teens who might also find themselves in Bella's position. I also appreciated that this showed the road to recovery isn't a straight line and that you're not always going to be perfect. Such an important thing to show to teens also struggling.
If you're in the right mindspace, this one is definitely worth the read!
