Refreshing to have a main character with mental health issues.
I read reviews saying this glamorizes mental illness, and I'm not sure... if that's even... what it's doing? But I'm not really sure what it IS doing? I don't know if I can formulate any opinions about this book that don't end with a question mark? I liked it? I don't know what happened with the world-building? It was kind of cool though?
Give it to kids who like Holly Black and dark fantasy? Don't give it to tweens cuz it's got some sexy parts and some suicide-y parts?
Not the best book ever. I seem to be a sucker for damaged main characters. The book starts off saying the main character, Hanna, is bi-polar. I don't think it shares any relation to reality but it's an interesting plot hook to have weird stuff happen and not have Hanna finch.
Wasn't a top notch book by any means but I enjoyed it. I'd be curious to know what happens next, but as always, I kinda prefer the open endings.
