This book is life changing, especially if you're going through a dark time, questioning life or your own self-worth. It's Sylvia Plath's 'fig analogy' summed up in a novel, but with a bit less existential dread and a bit more inspiration. The character's journey made me examine my own life journey and have a bit more hope in it after. Matt Haig is a commander of emotions and inspiration, in such a inner light-recognizing (yet still very emotional/see warnings) way.
