This probably should be my last read in June because I’m going to fail my exams if it wasn’t. Goodreads, please block my account if I read one more book this month.

Anyways, about the book, I really didn’t expect to like it this much, but I did!
I kind of started reading it without prior knowledge of what it was exactly about and I’m glad I did that. I don’t know I feel like this is more refreshing(?) I don’t know if that makes any sense but you get it right?

I adored Ethan, the author did an excellent job in portraying his character and tagging us along with him overcoming his fears with his amazing therapist, Dr. Greenberg. However, I really didn’t like Coraline. In the beginning, at least. I found her really annoying and egocentric, but I didn’t mind her relationship with Ethan, in fact, it made me accept and like her more.

I also liked the sense of humor here, especially that the book talks about a heavy subject, so the author did a very good job in lightening it up.
