The 50 bookish Questions

So I found this bookish tag and it seems interesting, I want to try it! So lets begin.

2. Was it a good one? Yes, it was good, not a new favorite but can't complain.

3. What made it good? It gives a very good rep of agoraphobia, a realistic reaction of people outside even of teenagers in love, it does not magically cure the one who suffers it simply due to love.

4. Would you recommend it to other people? Totally, I feel people need to read a bit more book that shows psychological disorders with a positive light instead of placing all the mental issues as the excuse for awful or the reason for the character to commit crimes.
