I saw another review write “This book is not about happy people and is not for happy people.” I can’t stop thinking about that. This book is for lonely people. The people who self-isolate and hurt people with their words. It’s for the “this is me trying” people. And it’s an honest representation of depression which does not magically get fixed before the story is over. When we leave tori she is still extremely sleep deprived and pessimistic and lonely and depressed, but she is no longer alone. And that’s how I know she will get better.
