**READ TRIGGER WARNINGS** Wow, I have a lot to say about this one. I can definitely relate to all three main characters: Vanessa, Conner & Tony. I relate to Vanessa a lot because at times I don’t feel completely like myself, & I have felt the urge to mutilate myself, my body, my emotions, mind & everything that comes with that. I have experienced depression & I do have anxiety so I can definitely relate. There’s romance, there’s complexity, there’s a battle with if I belong because of my sexuality & I relate to Tony because of that as well.

I read this book for the PopSugar challenge prompt “Books without an image on the cover” and the Around the World In 52 Books 2020 week 1 prompt “A book without the letter a, y, or t in the title”. This book is a lot. It covers a variety of topics and Im really glad how it tackles most of them. I especially like how it covered the fact that sometimes even with therapy and help, going back to the same environment you left will undo almost everything you’ve worked on. It’s important that kids know that so that they won’t give up on therapy when they’re able to finally get out of the environment they’ve been stuck in.

I don't think a book has ever made me think as much as this one did. This book is so powerful and deals with such a strong topic. This is a very beautiful book. I don't think a book has ever made me feel this sad. It makes you think about what you have in your life that you don't appreciate as much as you should. This is the first book that has ever almost made me cry. This was a beautifully written book.
