I didn’t mind the book being short, still the ending was very fast and although not everything turned out perfect, I was expecting a different endings. Maybe “darker”, because that could have fitted the book better.

« Maybe it wasn’t anyone’s fault. Maybe people just like to blame others for someone’s death because it makes it easier to deal with when they can be mad at someone. Maybe the only thing to blame for suicide is depression. »

I’m in need of short stories these days to finish my reading challenge, so this book was what I was searching for. I think it’s a great way to aboard the subject, and even if it’s not what I was searching, I think it would have been better if it was longer. The writing style also felt middle school, which I liked less. Otherwise, the subject was great.

IDK.
It's a topic that should be talked more and I'm thankful this writer did so. I felt exact same thoughts when I was in the hospital last time after the overdose. It's not easy and flowery to get better as the outer world think and I agree with most of the things,
However i didn't like the writing style. It felt like a diary entry of a middle school girl. It's the girl's point of view, but most of the things were described poorly and the scenes also felt so basic. It wasn't something I would normally pick and read, I fimished reading because the book is talking about an important matter. I'm not meaning to disgrace the author's work, but i wasn't satisfied with the writing style at all.
