dark emotional funny reflective sad slow-paced

5.0

I was not convinced at first, I didn’t feel compelled to pick it up for the first 50 pages or so. But then I felt like it absolutely bulldozed me in the best kind of way. The way Mason balances the bleakness and chaos of these characters with a grounded, hopeful feeling (ie sorrow and bliss lol) is so masterfully done, it is so difficult to make a deeply unlikeable character also someone you find yourself rooting for. It’s #relatable and such an authentic-feeling depiction of mental illness/disability. I didn’t think I would love it but at the end I realized it was absolutely everything I want from a book, simply artful work that impacted me deeply.
