Absolutely stunning representation of what it’s like to be depressed and have a multitude of regrets in life while also leading up to the inspirational notion that even with them, the important thing is to feel to potential in the life you do have. The wittiness, the realism in the expansion of what is still considered “science fiction”, the way the reader can easily fall in step with the characters and plot line is absolutely a work of great craftsmanship. This is a must read for all types of people, but especially those who are struggling with their own regrets.

Very much enjoyed this book. Got me out of a huge reading slump and finished it faster than any book I've read for pleasure in a couple years probably. Even in the middle of grad school (while I still somehow managed to do most of my homework, which is wild).

From all the tags, it sounds dark and awful, but it is very hopeful and and can be very light-hearted at moments! I wouldn't consider this book too heavy at all, as long as one is not currently suicidal (if you are, please be sure to read all the way to the end and not just the beginning).

Storyline is interesting but the conclusion feels a bit forced. Very reflective. Writing reminds me of a well-written fanfiction, which might be a selling point for some.
