I often saw this on my Pinterest page along with My Year of Rest and Relaxation and I’ve also been super curious about this when I saw it on Fully Booked. However, after reading it, I was not that amazed. At first, I was caught up with the book and excited to know what was coming in the following chapters. However, I found the book too repetitive– I found some parts of it irrelevant to the plot, and the story just keeps repeating the same thing over and over again in the following chapters. Also, just how exciting it was in the first part, the latter part of the book sounded somehow like a self-help book with mediocre and annoying motivational quotes. On the bright side, I think it gave justice to how depression was depicted and gave a strong and hopeful point at the end of the story– but still, it was too predictable and cliche. Overall, this book was okay, but there’s nothing too special about it.
