This book is all vibes, no plot. Not going to lie, was not a fan of this book at all. I related to the feelings of relief and understanding when she got her diagnosis, but that was about it. It’s a hot mess and the side characters are all over the place as well. They often claim to be doing their best to help the MC, but that “best” is a rally low bar. I also thought it should’ve ended at the journal scene. The ending is a good ending for this book, but I still don’t think the last 30ish pages were necessary. Won’t be rereading.
Graphic: Mental illness, Grief, Emotional abuse, Gaslighting, and Toxic relationship
Moderate: Alcoholism, Toxic relationship, Ableism, Alcohol, and Suicidal thoughts
