Symptoms of Being Human by Jeff Garvin
4.0

First of all, trigger warnings for the book re: suicide, assault, dysphoria and anxiety.
Second, wow. I definitely did not have this exact experience in any way but spending my late adolescence and early teens on tumblr definitely made this book feel very real. What an intense, both positive and horrifying thing that teens are helping each other through really hard and dangerous experiences and choices. This was less of a storyline and more of an exploration into Riley's perspective, and I appreciated that.
