Depression is an important thing to talk/write about. I think that every person suffers from depression at some point in their lives. Whether it's after heartbreak or something simple like you just can't decide what to do with yourself after high school/college and your stuck in limbo, while everyone moved on; or because of bullying; or pain caused by the loss of a loved one or any number of things. Depression is an illness no one likes to talk about, not even the person who has it, or even acknowledge that it even exist.

You can't see inside a person's head, why their have these thoughts that the author described in this book. They seem irrational for us outsiders, but the person whose feeling it/living it, they're totally reasonable.

Now I'm not sure what was it about this story, but something was missing for me. I can't exactly put my finger on it. Maybe the lack of communication between the MC's, but I guess that's reality. We people don't like talking to each other about our feelings. Or maybe the writing wasn't deep enough for me, didn't match the story in emotion.

Regardless it was a great story. ( )

A book more about how to deal with depression than about a romance, and about how hard is to get over our own mental blocks and find our way to happiness.

The story is realistic, well paced and enticing. The characters are wonderfully portrayed, and the writing is great.

If you are looking for a different kind of romance, for a book about courage and solidarity, about friendship and understanding, this one is for you.
