I have spent many many years of my life wondering what was wrong with me. But here's the truth: reviewing books is my way of surviving. How I review books to be mean or contrarian, or because I am too stupid to do anything else. How I am an evil villainess waiting to tear down the latest YA book. I've seen theories about me circling on Goodreads and Twitter. When you start putting parts of yourself out there on the Internet, people begin to wonder about you and to form their own stories.

This book made me cry, but for all the right reasons. I only wish someone had told me not that I was "crazy" but that I was sick, and there was a way to get better. Please note: I don't take review requests via Goodreads and I don't respond to comments on reviews that are more than 6 months old.
