The story discusses important topics like suicide, depression, toxic household. I was able to sense characters emotions and resonate with the female lead, in terms of mental health. 

Sometimes the book became slow paced, where I did not know what was happening : lost interest couple of times. I wished there was more build up to the big secret. Also I don't understand why the male lead's background information was showcased near the end...it would have been better at the beginning or the middle.

There are some interesting twists in this, but in general it was an overall bummer. The narrator is unlikable, and I know that’s the point, but listening to this book always soured my mood. It is also one of those books that ties up all the plot points neatly with a bow at the end. Very happily ever after.
