I'm not sure what to say about this book... It was a fast read (like 7 hours with breaks?), it had some really good chapters but all in all... it isn't sticking with me. It wasn't like the other books From Gayle Forman... not with how I felt with it. I have known a person to commit suicide and I too have had the thoughts so it wasn't that I didn't "get" the book.. I did.. I did sort of relate.. but it was kind of dull in areas and it didn't pull at my emotions the way I would think, being that I do relate to it, I thought it might have "hit home", it was on the path but it never made it. Good fast read, good characters for some, I am happy that I read it but is one of my least favorites of Gayle's books.
