This book perfectly fit into the category of books that are sort of slice of life books that I LOVE!
"Remarkably Bright Creatures" by Shelby Van Pelt, "Convenience Store Woman" by Sayaka Murata, "Circe" by Madeline Miller, "The Scent Keeper's Daughter" by Erica Bauermeister
All these books I would understand why someone else would find them boring. But the writing & compelling nature of humans make them favorites of mine
Graphic: Gun violence, Hate crime, Homophobia, Medical content, Grief, Medical trauma, and Murder
Moderate: Mental illness, Sexual content, Toxic relationship, Car accident, Death of parent, and Toxic friendship
I think that all these subjects are important to the story. I don't think anything was described excessively.michaelion's review against another edition

This book was beautifully written, wonderfully descriptive and an overall great portrayal of the ups and downs of friendship in a creative environment. I'll be thinking about this one for a while.
It just missed the fifth star for me just as I felt the plot was slightly wavering at points but overall I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to read!
