It is a heart wrenching book and if you are looking for a happy lighthearted book keep searching. But even if you are looking for that type of book you should come back to this one. It is a very good book that deserves a read

This book was surprisingly triggering, but the ending made it worth it. A complicated read for anyone who has a complicated relationship with the “what-if”s of life.

The entire book takes place after the main character tries to take her own life, so it’s a prevalent theme throughout.
