So why does she keep failing, and why does she self-harm every time she does?

I like that the author is a psychologist (a Black psychologist, even!) so you know Dani and Camila have been created by someone who knows something about the struggles they go through. The story stalls some in the middle though--Dani is too angry at everything to be much fun (which is fair, and probably realistic, but not great for moving the plot along. The supposed interesting mystery that opens the book as a teaser doesn't come back into play until p. 225., and it turns out not to be a huge part of the story (though it does mark a sort of turning point).
I think (hope) this could really resonate with and help someone won has dealt with similar issues -- or who knows someone else who has. ( )
