One of the hardest books I’ve read in a while, yet I couldn’t walk away from it (literally, I sat on the couch for five hours today reading it). If you’re in a vulnerable headspace, I wouldn’t touch it as it deals heavily with depression and suicidal ideation. I absolutely despised the main character for the first few chapters before quickly starting to pity her and then like her. Very eye opening to how hard some people can find the very act of existing. And the male lead - this book will make you want to reach out to the “George” in your life, whether platonic or romantic, and squeeze them tight, knowing how lucky you are.
