I'm so glad I read this book... and not just because it really reminds me of a situation I've been processing as of late and almost felt like I got tricked into a therapy session. Definitely worth the read. By far the best book I've read so far.

This book covered some heavy topics but was a good read, but I’m not sure I’d read it again. I found the main character’s view of the universe shrinking interesting and I liked how it could, in some ways, add layers to the book. But it just wasn’t for me. This book does have lots of representation. Also, I found the main character to be frustrating at times and not super relatable.
