If I ever felt like I am the exact target audience for a book, it was while reading this, because for me, this was very close to perfect.

Both main characters are so utterly loveable it felt like my heart was bursting sometimes. Probably because I could relate so much to their struggles. Struggling with mental illness and the way it influences how you think about yourself and yourself in relation to others. Having a hard time opening up. It was wonderful to see them be good at understanding one another. - All of that was handled with a lot of care and makes the topic of mental illness/health very accessible. And I think it's very important to have stories like this, where two equally struggling people learn that said struggles don't make them unloveable.
I also love to see some a-spec-rep, especially when done this well :)

I can't really put my finger on why this didn't feel like a 5 star read. Maybe because I still struggle a bit with romance book endings being a little too cheesy for my liking.
