Oh God, what can I say. This was a rollercoaster for me that lasted approximately 13 hours. I wanted very much to give this book 3 stars while reading it. Up until about 150 pages in. But you know what I realized? There was something about this book that kept me reading it, kept me holding on until I was holding on tighter than I thought I would: the book's blunt honesty, relatability, and message to be truthfully true to yourself and others. This story is more than just sappy romance about true love (that I wish I had, every day of my life). It's about relationships, platonic and romantic, and healthy and toxic. It's about loving someone who helps you and makes you love yourself more. That's why I couldn't bring myself to give this book less than 5 stars. Because it's about an experience that I couldn't give less than 5 stars, even if I wanted to.
