I've read this a while ago and I remember it being so raw and sensible. I really like the writing style and all the editorial choices of leaving it very personal to the main character with his little drawings and thoughts and repetitive words or annotations. 
I also really liked the mental health aspect and how he started already saying what happened to his brother, but we, as readers, slowly learn how it happened and how that changed everything.
