I received this book from netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. 
 so i really liked this book. but i can tell you right now, a lot of people won't. it deals with depression in a slightly different way than a lot of other books i've read. the reason i related to it so much is because i deal with my depression with sarcasm and self deprecating humor as well, so i really understood where the MC was coming from. if you're a fan of John Green, The Fault in Our Stars in particular, i think you would probably like this. that's not to say it's sad like tfios, but the humor, and how the teens talk, is very similar. 
 Bullet Points! 
 Plot: okay so the plot covers various things. you got reluctant friendship, you got depression, and you have a love story. i think all 3 were handled pretty well. although i'm not completely sold on the love story. 
 Characters: Reggie is our narrator. she has a similar humor to mine, as mentioned above, so obviously i think she's the best. ;) Snake is our male lead. While I appreciate his life outlook, and i do find him to be a fun character, he does things that i'm not a huge fan of. Yet, somehow, he is still very likable. Carla is an important player, and she is pretty darn great. I cannot stand Reggie's mother. Like, at all! Her dad is awesome. 
 Romance: Like i said earlier, not completely sold on it. It's definitely not your typical YA swoony romance. I'm not, not sold on it. But it's got some problematic things going on with it. 
 Diversity: Snake's parents are lesbians. One of Reggie's friends is an exchange student from Taiwan. And obviously, the whole book deals with depression.
