There is not much to say about this book as this one was a gift from a friend of mine. This is something else, that's for sure.

The book was beautifully written. The protagonist is relatable, especially in the way he confronts therapy and his development until he accepts that he did need help and that talking about his problems is necessary.
The writing style is easy to read and I had no issues at all following the story and characters.
Especially regarding mental health this book shows the complexity of this topic and how it can show in different people (Jeff, Sadie, Martha for example) and while it is mainly hopeful it has scenes where it shows that not every story ends a happy way. 
However while I really enjoyed the book there were some passages that I had to fight myself through to keep going, not because it was graphic or uncomfortable but because I thought it was either a little repetitive or slow, also the

author could've been a little more clear about Jeff's SA by Rankin since its onky off-handedly mentioned as molestation
