I can say that objectively, this is a great book. It's beautifully written and engrossing. The characters are fleshed out and complicated and the problems they have felt real and tangible.
That being said, it is really frustrating to read. The characters are hell bent on self destruction and while the discussions of grief and addiction are beautifully done, it's also incredibly overwhelming. I went into this book with different expectations which didn't help. I'm glad I read it, but it was undeniably a rough read.
