This was not for me. I almost DNF’d but I got halfway because it was recommended to me. It got a bit better in the middle. Overall I thought it was predictable, I figured out the end as soon as she got to the library. I didn’t love Nora as a character. It was an easy read but overall don’t recommend.

great book, very hopeful and it made me emotional.
But I have one big issue regarding her mental health. All of the problems the MC had in her life up to the point of her suicide attempt disappeared, simply because she found her will to live. I find that to be a very shallow view on mental health and it rubbed me the wrong way.
I would've hoped for a more dialled down ending- hopeful all the same- but with her overcoming her parts of her depression over a span of time after having found herself and her will to live.
