One of my favorite books of all time, not just bc it captures what it is like to have depression but the logic of it, how your arguments feel logical bc the world sucks so why go on? This was my 3rd or 4th reread

It was quite an interesting read. The blurb of my copy didn't give anything away so the way the story progressed really did surprise me.

It was as if I was watching a friend spiral—unexpected and had me thinking back on warning signs.

I enjoyed listening to men I trust's discography while reading this. Insightful read. The racism was off putting when it showed up though :/
