Such a great book.
I had heard so many good things about Krystal Sutherland being a great author, about how Our Chemical Hearts was amazing etc. But I hadn’t yet gotten around to trying any of her works. I was super excited when this came through my door to review.
I wasn’t entirely sure what to think before starting this. I mean the cover was quite plain, with a bright pink lobster on the top. I judged the book a little by the cover, but since this book was to review I ignored my doubts and got on with it.
I’m so pleased I did. This book was so good! The plot was well thought out, the story beautifully written, the characters well fleshed out. I found a main character who has a list of fears almost as long as my own, and thanks to an old friend she has the courage to work her way through them. I could never do that. Just reading some of her experiences my heart was in my throat.
This book covers some touchy and even triggering subjects, but it’s been done extremely well. Mental Health is obviously a key a dubbed throughout this book, and as someone with a long list of diagnoses I’m usually not too impressed. With this book I was.
This book made me laugh, cry and on some occasions both at the same time.
It’s easily a 4 out of 5 stars.
