Initially I thought the book was a little cringey and a bit cliche, but as the story progressed I came around. My favourite part of this book was the character Lister Bird, I thought it was very interesting to see the inner, darker workings of someone who is happy in the outside. Overall I think the beginning of the book is a little boring and cliche but towards the middle/end it picks up and gets better.
Graphic: Panic attacks/disorders
