Maybe it just wasn't for me

Not a single likeable character, cartoon villain parents and the only redeemable one is Reva and I hated her the whole time. Somehow knew the whole time that 9/11 was going to be incorporated but still laughed at how absurd it was at the end

It tackles grief in a beautifully human way, showing the shameful side to mourning. 
Think unreliable and unlikeable main character who eventually changes.
 
Honestly I loved it, BUT PLEASE don't read this when you're in a vulnerable state.
