I received an early copy of this story through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Heart felt, hard hitting, deep as the ocean.

I appreciated the insight that this story gives to a lot of very important subjects - such as depression, anxiety, suicide, toxic relationships, manipulation ect. Topics that are so important and need to be represented more in modern literature.

Having said that. this felt like three different stories, jam packed into one, which left me feeling that each character wasn't getting the chance to shine to their full potential. Their interwoven stories weren't done seamlessly from the start and it felt very disjointed between chapters, going from one character to the next, to the next. It really only starts to make more sense and feel more streamlined in the last quarter of the book, which for most readers nowadays is a little too late, sadly. But I am glad that I persevered to see the story line collide and actually come together so beautifully.

If you aren't a fan of multiple character perspectives, done from a chapter to chapter basis, then this will not be for you. However fans of stories that tackle mental health and overcoming life's hardest challenges, will enjoy this book.
