As a mentally ill person, I need to stop reading from perspectives of mentally ill characters lol. It's relatable, but it hurts and becomes tedious to step into that mindset when I generally enjoy reading for the escapism. That said, the characters showed a lot of depth and the narrarator was great. It was obvious the main character couldn't keep her thoughts or feelings together, as there were a lot of short, disjointed sentences, and instances where the character wasn't inside herself at all, or "too inside of herself" (panic attacks). Although this book focuses so much on death, I liked the ending that chose life.
