Review/ thoughts

This poety/ verse story about girl who has BPD and other mental illness its struggling to cope with a difficult relationship she has with her mother. This story deals a lot with drespression, self harm, other mental illness and wishing on suicide. I found this to be very depressing. Every page of the book that i read i want the narrator to finally find peace with herself and her mom and have more guidance. I felt as i was reading it it was dampen my mood and im normally i light hearted person. I had to unfortunately dnf almost half way though because i felt my mood change which normally doesnt happen while reading. But since this is on such a heavy topic i just couldnt finish it. Also it can be triggering for some people who had BPD or any mental illness like depression. I think people who maybe facing a similar situation and need more understanding from another perspective i think theyll love this.

This writing is nice it flowed well i just couldnt deal with such a heavy topic at this time.
