I recommend looking at TWs before reading this one. It appears that the author used SH as a way of adding a shock factor. It was unnecessary to the story, there are other, way less triggering ways to show that someone is struggling with their mental health. Besides this, it’s a pretty good book. The characters are built up nicely and the ending did wrap up neatly. It was cool to see how the author built up the characters and how their lives intersect. I would recommend this, but make sure to check the TW first.
