Complex relationships, eccentric mystery, touching tribute to mental health

Wow, such a great read. They knew I was predicting a twist and then completely subverted my expectations!!! Genuinely couldn't figure out which way it was going to turn next.
I also really adored how the author handled complex emotional issues and mental health. It all felt very real and beautifully captured each character's dilemma.
Softly cried at the end until I got to the first acknowledgment and then sobbed.
