It was confusing to be completely honest, I didn’t get what was going on in some parts but I connected the dots roughly.

It started out funny and easy then it went downhill from there and boring. It's not the worst book. But not really the best either.

dark emotional funny inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced

4.5

This is one of the most beautifully honest books I have ever read. I am a huge fan on Silvia Plath and The Bell Jar, so I was more than happy to pick this up to read. It’s a short book, taking me around four days to read, but it was packed to the brim with endearingly disturbing stories of mental illness, suicide, and the horrors that come with them. The existential nature of the book is terrifyingly cathartic, and I would truly recommend this book to anybody with a mental illness, who that are interested in mental health.
