Emotionally devastating, full over-flowery language, and a beautiful picture of friendship, loss, and what it means to be human.

Make sure you have tissues and read the warnings, but this is a pretty good debut! Neo has my soul and I loved Sonny so much! Also Eric is such a mood. 
I will say that the ending felt long winded and some of the dialog was idealic/unnatural especially in the last quarter of the book. But the way the author doesn't shy away from the harsh subjects she tackles in the book really makes up for!

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. The story was unlike any book I’ve ever read, and the characters were also really unique, especially the protagonist. What I loved most about this book was the ending, and all the wisdom the author shared about life and death, it was really comforting to hear. The only reason I didn’t rate it higher is because the writing isn’t really my style, and I found it really unnatural at times, especially in the dialogue, and also the jump between timelines got in the way of the story a bit at times (in my opinion). However, I still highly recommend reading this book for the perspectives and emotional rollercoaster that it is.

I am still a bit confused with my feelings but I think I liked it??? I think to enjoy this you have to suspend belief a little bit, do not look for the logic like I did. This is all vibes no plot. 
Overall I liked the story and thought it was creative in the way it was told. The writing did feel a bit tumblr-esc but I didn’t mind. About the ending-

I think I am wrong after reading reviews, but I interpreted Sam (the narrator) to be the embodiment of hope. I think they are actually the hospital in human form but I like them being hope better so I’m sticking to that. And in any case, the narrator having a “savior complex” makes sense because this whole book is about hope and what happens when you lose hope, so I don’t understand that complaint from others.
