"When Suzette comes home to Los Angeles from her boarding school in New England, she isn't sure if she'll ever want to go back, L.A. is where her friends and family are (along with her crush, Emil). And her stepbrother, Lionel, who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, needs her emotional support.
But as she settles into her old life, Suzette finds herself falling for someone new... the same girl her brother is in love with. When Lionel's disorder spirals out of control, Suzette is forced to confront her past mistakes and find a way to help her brother before he hurts himself-- or worse."
My Rating: 4.5/5
I decided to take out this audiobook on a whim. And I was shocked by how much I enjoyed the storyline. This book deals with so many aspects of life: race, sexuality, family and what makes them, mental illness and probably more than I'm missing. This story really taught me somethings about bipolar disorder that I didn't know about (not sure if this is own voices or not). I was invested in Suzette's life and was interested in her relationship with other characters around her. I think that the author did something interesting where she took a character from a very trendy city to a small town and then back again comparing the differences in opinions on sexuality and race. Overall I really liked it and only docked .5 stars due to one aspect that kinda bothered me\
Thanks for reading,
