You roughly knew the premise of this book, but nothing would have prepared me for what to expect in the last 135 pages. The world can be so heavy, but humanity is what helps us through. That's what this book showed through the pages.
Although a heavy read, I really enjoyed how therapeutic (pun intended) the book was. The human condition is always interesting and discovering what we need to survive. My only wish was that we got more insight into the end. I needed a few extra pages to go into detail and see the final interaction. But in the end, there's always hope.
