3.5
The book discusses important topics like depression, suicide, grief, bereavement, death, abuse and love; in particular showcases grief stages. I could sense characters emotions by resonating with them.
However, sometimes the book drags, that I either become confused or lost. Also feel like was introduced to constant new unrelatable information.
