Read this book for an uni seminar and what I loved most about it was probably the hopelessness. I really liked to read something so realistic without the mindset of “we can fix that, it will get better”. Sometimes you just have to realize that, no, you can’t do anything about it. It is not in your hands and you just have to try and make the best of it.
