Somehow a very sad topic doesn’t leave you feeling so unhappy. An interesting perspective on a bigger picture of human life interspersed with some very relatable characters down on earth

Content Warnings

Graphic: Suicidal thoughts

Moderate: Suicide

The whole book is centered on the overarching concept of human life, and why it’s worth living (or leaving). This is quite frequently explored through the topic of suicide, however the greater picture feels more important to the overarching meaning. My takeaway wasn’t that I just read a book about suicide, but rather one with a unique perspective on the meaning of life.
