This book is great if you are at a turning point in your life and regretting choices that have led you to that point. The book speaks to the variety of human life, but also the fact that no life is perfect and every life has light and dark encompassed in it. The ending dissapoints me though, as its as if the author suddenly decides that everything must be perfect for Nora's ongoing root life, which is not a complete reflection of the general message of the story.
Graphic: Suicidal thoughts and Suicide attempt
Moderate: Death of parent
Minor: Alcoholism and Homophobia
