This book was reviewed as part of my first "Flash Review" on my book review blog, The Hufflepuff Whovian.

TRASHY YA ROMANCE AT ITS FINEST. I live blogged this on facebook and as trashy and typical as it was, I couldn’t put it down. Not “Anna and the French Kiss” good, but so good.

I'd been eagerly anticipating this book for awhile, and recommended it multiple times to my book club but it wasn't ever picked, so I just decided to read it. And I'm so thrilled I did. I saw various reviews of either five stars or not very many and I tend to be the person who doesn't like the book when it's like that, but I LOVED this book. (Holy run on sentence). I found that how Alex was trying to find normalcy was something teens would totally do, and there were so many just beautiful quotes throughout this book that really moved me. I think it's really poignant to see a girl who really doesn't know how to deal with her mother's mental health, and a family who doesn't know how to get through to her. It was utterly beautiful, and one I will recommend highly to so many others. Really, it was sad but beautiful, and will stay with me for a long time. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because while I wasn't sure what I was expecting from the ending, and it wasn't a TERRIBLE ending, it also didn't seem fulfilling to me?
