The writing in this book is abrasive, but that's what makes it so honest. It's not a perfect book but it's a poignant representation of mental illness and the different ways it manifests. This book doesn't bullshit you with romanticism or a perfect ending, it is very realistic about pain and closure.

Here is a list of thoughts I had while reading this book, as it might be the only way to articulate the experience of reading this:
The dad is a Canadian hockey player 😭😭
The dad is a Canadian hockey player 😭😭
Bro you're quoting Virginia Wolf keep it in your pants
I just know this author is one pretentious fucker
he won’t play baseball because he doesn’t want to be a black stereotype are you serious right now who does this white ass author think she is
“Did you hit that yet or what” 🧍♀️
Is he smoking in gym class
Why didn’t they just get the other voice actor to do the dialogue for their character. Like why is this man pretending to be a teenage girl crying when you have a woman actress
“She is different from all other girls” bro shut up
“Vampire Diaries is life” this is so real and based
“Clothes off, m*dget” 🧍♀️🧍♀️
Stop talking about space I'm scared
Am I supposed to feel sad now
This is a sad ass authors note I feel a little bit bad now but kinda not really

I hated this so much. It was boring, the characters were so one dimensional, shallow, and unlikable.

The only slower-paced book (that I've read) that did it in such a way that it genuinely added deeper meaning to the story. I don't believe I'll ever be able to put into words just how much this book means to me.
