As someone who has been institutionalized for a suicide attempt, I found the characters and their humor to be 100% relatable. There’s just that sick part of our brain that copes with humor in a way that a lot of people wouldn’t understand. There are dark parts to all of us, and they can be portrayed so very differently. I also really appreciated that this book talks about suicide attempts and self harm for people who DO want to live, DO want to feel alive but have ulterior motives or can’t help themselves. The characters are good. The spice is good. The story is good. If you can relate to any of this review, give the book a go and always remember to check in with yourself and someone you love while you read.

However, for what it is, it's good. The spice is spicy, the thriller is thrilling, and the gut punch climax is definitely rough.
Check your triggers and your head space before reading.
