I've been wanting to read this book for a while and it did not dissapoint. The sad reality of people with mental health struggles who self-sabotage when they don't have the support needed, and how it can impact the people around them and cause harm to themselves and others.
It's sad because the main character did horrible things but you can see how it got to that point.
Awareness on neurodivergency (which was hinted at earlier in the book if you understand the symptoms though I doubt the author had that knowledge of what it was) has improved so much now compared to the time the author wrote the book but more work still needs to be done.
