Honestly a must read for anyone who enjoys realistic fiction. It is like a perfect combination of funny, wholesome and serious topics all at once it tackles what it is to be human in a way I guess

Did not really enjoy this one for whatever reason. Perhaps I did not have the same sense of humor or did not enjoy the pace throughout the middle. I liked the message because I am all for spreading suicide awareness as a hotline worker. However, I just wasn’t a huge fan of the book.

I really struggled to get behind the writing style of this book as a lot of it just felt like I was reading rambling of a crazy man, but there was some lovely moments in the book, especially towards the end.
