Very didactic and a teeny bit cringe at times, but overall I enjoyed this. Seeing all these different possible lives is a great plot device that keeps things interesting. Ordinarily I wouldn’t appreciate a book so overt with its message, but for such a sensitive topic I think it’s better to prioritise making that message absolutely clear. A nice read that a lot of people could take something from.
Graphic: Animal death, Suicidal thoughts, and Suicide attempt
Moderate: Self harm
Minor: Homophobia and Vomit
