The Booklist Starred reviewed this book in the November 2015 issue. They said, "Though occasionally message heavy, this important story of a teenager learning to live with clinical depression is informative and highly rewarding." They state that the book is for grades 8-12.
The Kirkus Review also reviewed this book for their November 2015 issue. "A quick first-person narration guides readers through the complexity of Vicky's thoughts and, more importantly, revelations. From her darkest moments to welcome comedic respites to Emily Dickinson's poetry,..." They state the book is appropriate for 12 year old students and up. I predict that this book will speak to me personally. Due to the fact that the School Library Journal stated in their February 2016 issue that the book was written for ninth grade and up, I will read it first before I decide whether or not to put it in the middle school library collection.
As of now I don't think I will be adding this book to the collection but we shall see.
