Very much enjoyed this book. Got me out of a huge reading slump and finished it faster than any book I've read for pleasure in a couple years probably. Even in the middle of grad school (while I still somehow managed to do most of my homework, which is wild).

From all the tags, it sounds dark and awful, but it is very hopeful and and can be very light-hearted at moments! I wouldn't consider this book too heavy at all, as long as one is not currently suicidal (if you are, please be sure to read all the way to the end and not just the beginning).

This a cute, uplifting book. You can't help reflecting on your own life when you read it. It's a very interesting concept but it can be a bit didactic. The ideas the author is trying to convey are a bit on the nose at points. I wouldn't say it's a must-read for everyone but it's certainly an enjoyable book

It was a little cliche and predictable, but overall a good message and a cool concept. The first half was pretty boring but the second half wasn’t bad.
