if dear evan hansen is the after, this is the before. it makes sense to me

Also idk how to rate this book?? idk if I liked it, if I liked the depiction of the whole mental illness stuff and I can't decide whether it was done well or not. romanticizing the whole thing through love poems feels wrong idk

informative slow-paced

Wirklich sehr interessante Aufklärung über manche Verfälschung der Geschichte.
Der bessere Weg es zu lesen ist definitiv, immer wieder mal ein Kapitel zu lesen.
Ich habe die letzten 150 Seiten innerhalb von 2 Tagen gelesen und kann das nicht empfehlen, da es sich gegen Ende gezogen hat.
Aber super spannender Inhalt!
