3.0

it was good but there just was an obsession with wanting the main character to WANT to be alive. it felt like all noras character was was an amalgam of depression and regret. the other characters had a lot more depth and while the ending was satisfying it was also predictable. the writing was great, the concept was interesting, but i didn’t really like the way mental health was discussed. it seemed pretty preachy
