Amazing plot twist that I did not see coming at all. A somewhat difficult glimpse at struggles with grief and mental wellness, but then with twists and turns throughout.

This book is good in the same way that reality TV is good, or in the same way that eating an entire bowl of candy is good. You have a good time while you're experiencing it, but when you're done, you're like - wtf? This book was wild in good ways and bad ways. I don't even know how to talk about this book without giving away spoilers, so I'm leaving it at that. That, and - this book serves as a perfect reminder that if you take medication and you haven't taken it yet today, make sure you take it.
