Made me cry: check
Deals with anxiety (+ocd), schizophrenia and generalized mental illness.
Belief as a main theme.
Bi main and side characters + lesbian main character
-0.5 cause i found the ending underwhelming
Favourite quotes (no direct spoilers):
1. "And maybe this is petty, but i want to be fucking happy. I want to be the kind of happy that's two giant middle fingers at every person who told me i'd never be, unless my life was exactly like theirs. That's what i want."
2. "Endless shedding and regenerating and growing. The deep layers of your skin - with your scars and freckles and birthmarks - stay with you for life. But that first layer, the one that brushes up against the world around you, that one replaces itself every twenty-seven days. Every twenty-seven days, you're inside a new skin. Every twenty-seven days, you get a new chance"
3. "I don't know which scenario, one among thousands, will play out. I am in one singular moment, lived from one singular perspective, and i don't know what's ahead.
I give myself over to the not knowing, because it feels right, and i believe in the things i feel. I trust the things i fee. I trust myself.
There are so many ways a world can begin. And here is one."
