This book was so well written but I think I’m over books that are mostly inner monologue. I loved the black hole as a metaphor for the MC’s depression and how she put on her “fake self” to pretend she was fine. It was very relatable. I wish some things in the book had been more fleshed out, but overall a great book on mental health.
