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.

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.
