There were times I wasn't sure I was going to like the story. It was super dark and sometimes disturbing. But I was surprised how much the characters grew on me, and I even actually cried a time or two--which doesn't happen easily for me. But for my Goodreads friends, there's a lot of language and some dark themes (it is the fictional journal of a kid who wants to commit suicide). So if you don't like either of those I would not recommend it.
