***2.75  *** T.W. talk about self-harm****

I kept seeing this book everywhere so when I got the chance to buy it, I did! 

I love the premise of the book as I have never read anything like it. It was philosophical and heart warming. It teetered on a self-help premise but there is only so many ways to handle suicide that allow it to hold a positive nature. The book was very plot-driven in my eyes. I never found myself fully invested in Nora, I just wanted to see what happened at the end. The ending was sweet and definitely perfect for the book, I wasn’t left wanting much more. The part where she met Hugo honestly threw me off and I don’t know why. 

I’d recommend this book but also would warn people that the whole premise of the book is centered around suicide. I would have liked a bit of a disclaimer, not for me, but for others that may not be in the headspace to jump into this book.
