This was an excellently written book. Most of it is chronological yet the pacing and how they choose to reveal important information from the past is brilliant. I originally picked this up because I usually read fictions in between my nonfiction/informative book reads, but I’m so glad I read it. I got the audio version and the narrator did an excellent job at adding to the atmosphere. The time of the story, 2006, makes so much sense to how mental illness, bro culture, and race is talked about/dealt with. It is not a love story like the movie tried to make it. It’s a lot more than that. It’s raw and complex yet it’s simple enough to read casually in a day if you wanted to.
