This book was very dark, but also hopeful. And I really enjoyed it. I honestly really disliked Sayers at first, as I think you were supposed to. But he really grew throughout the book and ended up a much better person for the adversity. Though obviously, no one should suffer that, he really needed something drastic to course correct him. Overall a great look at trauma, how people deal with it, and mental health overall.
