Really enjoying this one thus far. I've seen and read a lot of controversy on it. To be honest I see it more as a YA contemporary/romance with a background of mental illness. For me the schizophrenia isn't all encompassing. I mean it may be inaccurate, but it isn't my main focus with this story. We shall see how it plays out!#muchlove #controversialbooks #sofarsogood
