The book focuses on important topics like perception of life, possibilities of life, mental health, suicide, depression. It is an easy read as well. 

Sometimes I lost interest and it began to become a bit slow paced.

This book is trying too hard to be quotable, mental health is romanticised, and the story is appropriating an "aesthetic" to committing suicide.

A disappointing book, there is no character development but lots of repetitive writing.

This is probably one of the best books I have ever read for my own personal reasons.

I relate to this so deeply and it really does give you a different outlook on life and change your perspective on a lot of things

I always wondered about who I could’ve been if I had just made a few different choices and this story allows me to experience that through someone else
