This gave me Perks of Being a Wallflowe vibes. A raw exploration of the impact of grief.   Also a difficult look at how  bi-polar/manic-depression can be overwhelming,  especially when not undersood by the person experiencing it or the people in their life. 

Important message by the end: reach out. Talk. Speak  up!

It was so beautifully written and you could totally immense yourself in the story, almost feeling like you're the one living through it. The topics it talks about are difficult but important nonetheless and it's done in a way that portrays the seriousness of mental illness and suicide/suicidal ideation really well but even despite this, the end of the book leaves you with some sort of hope that healing is possible and you can in fact find your own way. It was heart wrenching and devastating but has its own beauty after all and I'll definitely read it again.

Sending lots of love to anyone struggling right now, you matter and you're so so strong. You will find your way through this eventually; I believe in you, truly <3

This is a hard book to read, from an emotional standpoint. It's absolutely worth it, though, because Niven somehow finds the beauty and the hope in the aftermath and the memories. I honestly think this book should be required reading in school.

A brilliant book, but the writing quality was just slightly lacking for me. However, the story was enough to make up for it.
