This book just felt like a nice reality check of what a lot of 20/30 yr olds are living like right now. 

There really does feel like no hope when the odds are against you, for really no reason. 

You have an idea of how you’re progressing in life either with your job or social circle, but things just always never work out, but this book does give you
Hope that there is always a silver lining at the end of this. 

This book also shows perfectly how we’re all annoying and a stand in for someone. We all just want human connection but not all of us deem your company as important enough to care about.

For one person, we strive to be appreciated in someone’s life and put ourselves out there to show we care, and to the other person, they could care less if you got hit by a truck, that just sums up relationships and friendships right now.
