It very well shows the mind of someone with mental illness works, how hard it get happiness. It's also extreme amazing how a book published so long ago its still so relevant to this day

I cried numerous times in the last 40 pages, not like sobbing cause it’s sad it was just dark and I felt a hole in my chest.
The books writing reminded me of “Call Me by Your Name” writing when it went on tangents and rambled which I didn’t love but it makes sense in this because it is a fractured mind speaking.
It took me a long time to get through this book because it was so grim and depressing but I’m glad I read it.
I’m conflicted on how to rate this because it was a man’s life and his feelings so I don’t want to speak on the subjects. the book is a lot more depressing when you know the author killed himself after publishing it

The book was beautifully written and truly capture the feeling of absolute hopelessness. And I'd say, one of the worst things was the moments I could see myself in the characters.
