ripped my shit wide open, got me to talk about my own mental health history in certain terms with my dear friend, and got me to cry through the wall of testosterone, like properly REALLY cry.
recommend for anyone who has lived their life similarly “high functioning” but without the strength to be soft and love more - just dear god be gentle with yourself❤️

The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is that it took me a while to get into the book and I was confused at first with all of the characters being mentioned, prior to the character development which ended up being phenomenal.
Something else I liked about this book were the realistic portrayals of families who love each other so much, and would do anything for each other but also can cause irreversible harm to their loved ones and be a major source of trauma.
Also, while the “doomsday” plot is used a lot, the way the impending world destruction was incorporated into the plot was unique as in the book did not center around the asteroid and a journey of survival but rather it centers around family, friendship, reasons for living, and doing what is best for yourself.
