Excellent quick read. Had me tearing up only 22 pages in. Perfect companion on a cold, snowy January day.

misleading synopsis, underdeveloped characters, heavy-handed themes/messaging, self-help vibes, and poor mental health representation made me skip the alleged "meat" of this book and just read the ending to see if my assumptions were correct... let's just say i'm glad i did

This is the first fiction book I’ve read since I was a child. I never had before because I have aphantasia (I can’t see images in my head) so it always felt like I was just mindlessly digesting words.

But this is a work of art, I found myself genuinely laughing and crying throughout the chapters, It was so beautifully written, so emotive. This is going to be a hard act to follow when I read my next fiction book.
