4.0
The writing style was a little cheesy - in part due to the various Harry Potter references shoe-horned in there. I can see why some wouldn't like it, but to me it felt cheesy in a comforting way. Like when you're talking to a friend that always uses the same catchphrases or filler words.
I did leave the end of the book wishing for a little bit more. A few more details of his past experiences, a few more real insights to his feelings in certain moments, and a lot more detail about his reflections on mental health and substance use.
