Deposing Nathan by Zack Smedley
5.0

5/5 stars

"It's not cute when people try to 'fix' each other. It's cringey and dysfunctional. We both need to already have our shit worked out before we bring anyone else into it."

I don't know what I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting to read this book in a few hours, with my gut hurting and tears streaming down my face.

It's hard when you are figuring out yourself. You can love and hate those close to you. You can love and hate yourself. It's all hard, and the author painted this in such a raw way that really stabs at my heart.

This book will be a memory I won't forget.

Also, if this story had followed any other character, Nathan wouldn't have looked too good. In fact, it would have made him seem like a messed up insensitive asshole. I'm glad it was given in his pov....too many stories try to make the mc look like the good guy. And although Nathan definitely was a victim in many ways, he also handled things poorly which had great repercussions with his friends.

He's a flawed character and I appreciate that.
