Such an emotional book. Cried multiple times. Made me very reflective. It’s such a gut-wrenching book. It tackles depression, alcoholism, suicidal ideation, physical and emotional abuse, social awkwardness, and loneliness. I got anxiety during this book as if I was the one that had just accidentally hurt someone’s feelings.
I love the main guy in the book, he reminded me of Chris O’Dowd.
During parts of this book, I really didn’t like the main character. She does grow, though.
I don’t know if I’ll ever want to read this again. It was so anxiety-inducing that I couldn’t sleep last night. I just felt like I couldn’t put it down until there was some resolution.
