Another dark "comedy" I didn't think was funny. It's hard to make depression interesting, but the author took a good crack. I don't think the voice acting was badly done, but I don't think it quite matched, at least not all the time. Good job of tying up the end. I think it would've all grabbed me a bit better if I were as young as the protagonist, maybe, but that's not the author's fault.
Graphic: Animal death, Panic attacks/disorders, Mental illness, Self harm, and Suicidal thoughts
Moderate: Outing, Religious bigotry, Alcohol, Alcoholism, Grief, Lesbophobia, and Addiction
