Wow.
I loved this book, and I would not recommend it. This book wrecked me. It gets very serious very quickly for the climax/taking action, and it gets very very real. Content warning for manipulative abuse, intense loneliness, and suicide, among some other intense scenes/topics.
Regardless, it was a great read and felt very real to me (it also hit very close to home a some bits). If you are in a well enough headspace to read this book, it's very good, but it's not worth sacrificing your mental health ugly crying on and off in your bedroom for 2 hours while devouring the ending all while frantically getting ready for work since you're about to be late. Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything lol.
