I found this book incredibly slow paced at the beginning, and put it down for a while because I couldn’t find the motivation to get back involved with it. However in the second half onwards, it really picked up and got a lot more interesting, with a really beautiful ending. I thought it was a beautiful portrait of mental health.
Graphic: Suicide attempt
Moderate: Alcoholism
