Didn't Float For Me

It was 1 am.
I was thinking about books.
I was thinking about how people read books, tattoo books on their skin, smell books, buy books, see books.
I looked across the room my grandmother was reading a book. She talked about what I looked like reading this book. The picture of me reading was on my fridge...

Read, readreading, read,readingread..I covered my book with my hand. Read,readreading,read,readreading...

Here are my thoughts on this book, I didn't feel anything especially not floating. I was excited at first to read this... Not to many books out there especially young adult books, touch on grief and mental illness. This fell completely flat, as flat as, the bike I grabbed from my shed, rode it for 30 seconds and realized the tire was flat...

I can't figure out what Biz has? What type of mental illness is she fighting? It needs to be explained. The author not only confuses me with that but the style of writing? Super boring... I could not keep read, readingread.. this book!

Overall, I was confused. Not enough going on in some areas, needed to explain. Especially about Biz and Grace? To much going on in other areas. Both left me confused. I don't like the writing, issues covered were not executed well at all. I really can't understand all the great reviews???

If Biz did have something besides panic attacks, depression. It was not explained well, as a person who sufferers from M.I. myself I'm tired of authors writing about it and not giving a good explanation or not really knowing about it at all. Also Biz seemed very confused about her sexuality. I feel like that part was forced in the story. If an author is going to write about LGTBQ characters, do them justice. Don't make it a forced or a confusing point.
