2.5

It's an interesting book but the eriting style isn't something for me. Sometimes it's so loveable and  relatble but sometimes it's also very confusing. I really don't know what to think about it. 
It gives me really mixed feelings cause I like the topic but it's just... I don't know how to describe it.

3.5

Despite my almost-four-star rating, I really enjoyed this book. The reason for my lower star rating is that half way through the book I stopped taking my meds and then could only read the book like it was a rap. Anyways, with that I think I would rate it five stars if I went back on my meds and read it again.
