dark reflective medium-paced

4.25

directly connected to no longer human, and they have the same protagonist. also has an autobiographical quality to it the writing was absolutely beautiful, there was so much honesty and raw emotion. on the other hand, i giggled a few times at the dark ish humour incorporated. i definitely appreciate this novel as an insight into mental health, specifically depression, and the effects of going through an existential crisis. i think it could be relatable to many people.
