I enjoyed the first few hours of the book, but the rest felt pointless, repetitive, and hollow. There's some good messaging, there's an attempt at discussing mental illness, etc, as well as good LGBTQ+ rep, but it wasn't enough to keep me engaged with the novel. I found the writing good for a while, until it just started to be overdramatic and attempting to build atmosphere by throwing words around that didn't end up meaning anything.
There is nothing wrong with being a teen and not being sure of your sexuality, but this feels like it tries to pander more than be genuine ace rep. (at least to me) (This also being in modern day and there's plenty of resources-) (edited) 9h
