I honestly didn't expect to connect with this book as much as I did. The first quarter of the book was tough to get into specially with the jumping between POVs without a clean break. But as I continued reading I found myself relating to Nick in some ways and liking Jade. She wasn't the unrealistic love interest that magically fixes everything and depression is cured through the power of love. I liked the way this book dealt with mental health as it felt so natural, real and honest. And I was pleasantly surprised that the book overall was for the most part upbeat. It was exactly what I needed to end this day.
Thanks to NetGalley, Sasha Greene, Harper Impulse and Killer for the ARC in exchange for this honest review!
After reading the 2 bad reviews I was worried about reading this. But I was pleasantly surprised. I liked Jade, I found all the characters believable. Maybe it was chick lit about mental health issues but I’m sure more people could relate to it then
Yes I can see the changing POV without any clean break is strange but I just put it down to it’s a proof copy and things can be changed before release.
I enjoyed reading it.
I really enjoyed reading this book! As someone who has struggled with mental illness I could relate to the characters. As a mental health professional I enjoyed certain aspects of this book that could be useful to someone who is going through a tough time. The novel was upbeat, modern, and for the most part cheerful despite some of the content. Thanks for letting me review!
A great book about someone dealing with a mental illness that struggles to find her own form of happiness. A very emotional yet rewarding read! As someone that can relate to these struggles I could completely relate!
Thanks Netgalley for providing a ciopy for my honest review!
The story of Jade and Nick. Set in Glasgow, this flits between the different points of view.
An interesting and emotional read
I really liked the concept of this book and it sounded like it would be something that I would enjoy, but the bouncing back of POVs of characters in a random way made it hard to finish.
Found this difficult to get into the pace was off due to constantly changing POV , which can be good at times, but here it just felt wrong. A shame because was dealing with important issues like depression and suicide.
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

I wanted to like this book. I really did. I liked the setting in Glasgow. I appreciate the attempt to tackle a subject like depression and suicide. I just couldn’t get into the story or get attached to the main characters. I personally very much dislike head hopping in books—changing POVs back and forth without some kind of clean paragraph break or chapter ending—and it made this more difficult to read because I wasn’t always sure whose head I was in. Also the role of Nick’s mental in their relationship is something that was hard for me to read for personal reasons. Others may enjoy this more than I did, but it wasn’t for me.
