I had no idea that it was a dystopian, I honestly thought it's main focus was on mental illness, bummer! <br />Thanks for your awesome review Julia!

I think a lot of the issues you mentioned would bug me too. Thank you for the honest review I hope your next read is a lot more enjoyable! :)Jasprithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346050783201302967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997174738664182569.post-10702658340924152982013-07-16T12:11:13.087-07:002013-07-16T12:11:13.087-07:00I wasn't really a fan of the angst either - it...I wasn't really a fan of the angst either - it just got to be a bit too much at times. <br /><br /><i>"And then Suzanne Young went and decided to have the only character I actually liked commit suicide."</i> - I know, right?! <br /><br />Great honest review!

I've been wanting to read it for months. I didn't really think too much about it but now that you've said that the author uses these issues just to make the plot, it does make sense. If I had read the summary more closely, you can almost predict that's what is going to happen. *le sigh* Thanks for the honest--and funny!--review Julia! I'll probably just borrow it from the library if I ever get around to reading it.

It made me smile, especially the Scott Pilgrim gif :D This one never really called my name, I think I had the same fears you did about exploiting the subject matter.
