This book was excellent. I have not read a book that so perfectly describes what depression can feel like, and that is so open and honest about how it is different for everyone. That's very important for people who suffer to know. Putting something that deep into a book like this is ingenious.
The main characters are real and flawed, but they are so relatable and the reader just gets sucked into their world. I also love the author's use of the therapy sessions to tell a bit of the backstory and help us understand Reggie a bit better.
Representation in this book is pretty good too. I love that each main character has such a different family dynamic, from Reggie to Snake and even Carla. It helps to illustrate the point that we all have differences in our backgrounds and environments, but that doesn't make us weird or unlovable.
