A relateable and socially inept main character, trying to go about life while dealing with serious trauma. The book is separated into the parts: "Good days", "Bad days" and "Better days". While majority of the book happens within good days, the bad days section may be quite confronting for some people. Overall a quick, easy read which I would recommend.
