I went in blind, didn’t know what it was about. That being said, the blurb doesn’t really do it justice with the trigger warning of suicide. That is a HEAVY theme in this book and it hit me on such a personal level that I had to stop at times and read something else to get my mind off of it. But the story itself is good.
