One of the first books I’ve read in a long time; reminded me why I loved reading. Nathan Filer wrote this with the main character as the author, allowing the reader to experience what his mind does. Memories are told out of order, sometimes they come back unexpectedly, and he often gets distracted to explaining something around him. I think this was a great way of allowing us to build the full story.

It's a beautiful book with a special style. It's written from a mental ill persons point of view and creative designed like notes he's writing intentionally to tell his story. Sometimes it's a little confusing, because he suddenly changes the subject or stops to write. And sometimes the presented situations change between longer time ago and just yesterday or today. But that makes it very unique and presents the main character even better. I really loved this book, as a whole.
