4.5 - the book makes me hate the story so much less. i really have a new appreciation for everyone in this now. everyone is very very flawed. there is not a single good guy except maybe zoe but even then not fully and i like that. this was really good and eye opening and important

I know it was kind of the point, but I spent the majority of the book annoyed and angry at the main character and that is just not what I'm looking for in a book. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Good message overall, though.

Content warnings: anxiety, depression, suicide, language...

It’s well told and a good adaptation from stage performance to novel (I was left wondering how it was a stage play and do want to see just to see how it pans out) and it’s good to see male suicide being tackled.

But at the same time, there’s something about DEH that feels a little... generic? Like, I’ve read similar plot lines a lot and I don’t know, I feel like I missed something in the storyline or the characters that needed to be there to make the story epic. Maybe that’s where the musical takes precedent over the novel, it has the soul or the heart that I need to boost the story from okay to epic. I guess there’s only one way for me to find out.
