This book is trying too hard to be quotable, mental health is romanticised, and the story is appropriating an "aesthetic" to committing suicide.

as a person who was told by everyone around them that this book was just wonderful, beautiful and just all in all a fantastic book (a quote on the back of my edition says it’s a fun read) just… please go through the trigger warnings before you read the book! because while it is all the things named above (the fun part is debatable, but i liked it nonetheless) it does deal with heavy topics!

other than that i did love reading the book quite a bit. i loved the general idea of the book, as well as the language and style that it was written in. especially the fact that the chapters can be very short helped my reading experience a lot. i also found myself relating the the topics as well as the main character nora at several points and felt myself “growing” alongside her. this is not my typical genre to read, but after hearing so many people in my life talk highly about the book i decided to get into it and i do not regret it. the only thing i have to say is that at times it could feel a little bit like story was stuck in a loop, but that was never too long for me personally.

long story short: it was a really enjoyable read and, especially towards the end, i couldn’t put it down :))

While I started this book because I was intrigued by its unique premise, I finished it overjoyed by its straightforward and effective approach to telling a story about attempted suicide. There are so many messages in this book that are essential for understanding the mindset behind suicidal impulses and how to recover from them. Too many messages to transcribe here, with all of them echoing truths I've found in my own life as a survivor of attempted suicide. I highly recommend that others read this book and to keep their mind open to how it describes the importance of tweaking your perspective in order to vastly alter your world.
