When We Collided by Emery Lord
2.0

On one hand, I think it's another important read because it really dives in to the messiness of mental illness, being a teenager, and how hard it can be to come to terms with things that life hands you. On the other, I really disliked the instalove factor and the main character, Vivi. When I started reading, I thought this book was adorable. But it quickly started to annoy me. So many things just seemed unnecessary or over the top and I couldn't look past those instances.

Favorite line:
"Oh, I imagine it'll hurt less eventually. I think there will always be a hole, though. But lace is one of the most beautiful fabrics, you know. All those holes and gaps, but it's still complete somehow- still lovely."
