4.0

The ending was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but otherwise this book is fantastically painful and the kind of story I think everyone should read at least once in their life.

I hope the author is doing well, the pain in this one felt so real, I hope whatever demons they might have been fighting while writing this one have long lost.

The story could have been a little bit longer and more in-depth, though. I read it for less than an hour in total, yet I still have a question. What happened to the one last faithful friend standing? I guess I will never know. Anyway, it wasn't bad, but it lacked depth and continuity.

*trigger for suicide* 

Depression sucks. Sometimes it sucks so much you just want to die. Sometimes you have a terrible step-dad and a dad that literally did unalive himself. Sometimes you have an oblivious mom and a step sister that is always crying.

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.
