This book was at times hard to read. Samantha reminded me of myself. The author crafted the words o the page so well that she made the characters real to me. This is a powerful book about the darkness inside of us and how some of us struggle to contain it. It also reminds you that you are not alone in the struggle. There always some one us going through the same thing and how you can be there for each other. This book defiantely gives you all the feels. Make sure you have a box of tissue ready. I loved reading this book. I reccomend it.

This was such a good read, it deals with mental health and in partuclar self harming in such a sensitive and yet almost brutally raw way. It is beuatofully written and I fell in love with the characters. I couldnt put this book down.

Trigger warning for this book! Abuse, self harm, suicide

Overall, I enjoyed this book. It was often difficult to read because of how well written and descriptive it is. It may especially be hard to read for those in recovery. That being said, this book was an excellent reminder that we are not alone in this world and that many people have stories similar to our own. I saw myself in Sam and I feel that many people will. This is a book that will certainly stay with me for a long time. Especially that ending!

this was so powerful and beautiful. as someone who has struggled w/ self harm and mental health, this really spoke to me. the writing felt super truthful, and I loved the characters. a very powerful 5 stars.
