This book was breathtaking in the worst ways possible. Please do not make the mistake I did and read this when struggling with the topics this book discusses. This book caused me to relapse at least twice and almost relapse per like 10 pages. This book was beautifully written and if I wasn’t struggling myself it would’ve gotten a higher rating.

Such an eye opening plot that made me realise how some people can really suffer in their lives at a point the don’t even have a place to live when none of their family members wills to help them . My heart is hurting with them . And let’s don’t wonder how people become homeless

It was a roller coaster. I’m sad to say that some characters I liked did seem to end up as kinda the bad guys and I was really hoping they wouldn’t. When I first picked up this book I thought this would be a sad book all the way through but it has proved me wrong. Despite the main theme being about mental illness it’s still joyful at times and it helped lighten the mood(?). I really enjoyed it and it was interesting to read too. Also I made a playlist of all existing songs that they mention. So here you go:

Star -Belly
Nervous breakdown - Black Flag
Is it really so strange? - the smiths
Baby, let me follow you down - Bob Dylan 
The whole Astral Weeks album by Van Morrison
T.B. Sheets - Van Morrison
The whole Nashville Skyline album by Bob Dylan 
You’re the one that I want - Grease
Tangled up in blue - Bob Dylan 
Needle in the hay - Elliott Smith
Christmas in prison - John Prine
