I have mixed feelings about this book. It was written very well. The metaphors, symbolism, and imagery were all great. And I always appreciate a book that's open about mental health.
The plot was... strange, to say the least. I enjoyed it, but it felt like just reading story vomit. The pieces didn't always fit together, but it held my attention and I enjoyed it? I don't know.
It isn't bad enough to be only 3 stars, but it's not something I'd ever want to brag about reading nor would I probably recommend it so it's not a 4 star either.
