The timeline of this was confusing and I found it a bit ridiculous that one character is crying about how the other will never love her after like 3 days?! And then the other one is suddenly willing to uproot her whole life after only a couple weeks. My brain just did not comprehend.

I’m not sure how I feel about the portrayal of bipolar in this book. I have mixed feelings and plenty of questions but/and it’s not something I have personal experience with so I’ll have to seek out more info elsewhere. 

Otherwise the story was very engaging, emotional, readable. And overall I think it was memorable and ill be thinking about it for awhile.

Disliked how the characters went from hating each other to just being together at lightning speed and couldn’t seem to have a conversation about any issues at all.
