This book is a difficult read. However, I think it is very important. At first, I wasn’t into the main character because she seemed to have made some questionable choices regarding her relationship with her ex Charlie, but you later get to understand the different aspects of her mental health and really gain a ton of empathy for her character and her situation. This book deals with really difficult issues in a way that was accessible and helpful.

This book is a fun read, but ultimately some of the jokes fall flat.

I think this book was fun and I would definitely read the next one in the series. However, I think I would have preferred this through a different medium, such as a television show. The jokes would have worked a bit better there. You will definitely like this book if you like Gravity Falls with the fun elements of science, humor, and characterization all rolled into one. Overall, I wasn't super impressed but I would be interested to read if there was a sequel.
