This book hit since hard topics for me. I have a sinking that died by suicide and a fair chunk of this book is focused on a sibling relationship when one of them attempts. I loved it for it's realistic peak into the thoughts of a person who's struggling. The narrator continuously makes it very clear that they are unreliable which drove me to want to find out more and see if I could desipher what was true.
I also very much enjoyed the narrators inflection. It added to my experience with the book a lot.
I highly recommend reading this one at least once, but make sure you're on the right headspace and take the author's content warning at the beginning seriously.
