Sweet, sad, funny, painful. Full of triggers - phobia's, anxiety, panic attacks, neglect, physical/mental/child abuse, depression, hallucinations, addiction, suicide attempt. 

I thought this was going to be a bit of black humour and quirkiness, and it ended up making me cry. 
It's very sweet and quite fun, (though everyone is very broken which is kind of full on, but on purpose), and I did like it, but holy shit did this book make me sad. Far more triggering than I thought it was going to be.
