i have conflicted feelings about this book. it very accurately depicted that having a terrible doctor can rly impact how dealing with grief and mental illness evolves, and i was definitely a fan of how the main character was so deeply unlikeable. the last chunk with the artist and the sticky notes was kinda confusing but i guess it was supposed to be? the ending also felt very abrupt? it was very well written.
