This is the perfect book for every people pleaser struggling to choose their own happiness for a change. Sadie's tendency to ignore her own emotions, and to only absorb what others feel is so recognizable. Both her and Julius are complex characters, and I would like to read more about their relationship. How will they handle life after graduation, and all the expectations that come with that phase in life? Will they support eachother or make it harder because of their competitive side? *I just found out there's a short sequel, yay!*
"Something sick and poisonous inside me, something painful, and I need to force it out of my system. But it’s stuck. It’s festered beneath my flesh for so long now that it’s a part of me, the deep ache like a thumb on a tender bruise."
