3.5 i enjoyed it and i think brewer’s prose is great but at a certain point it felt repetitive and obsessed with itself

I think Brewer is talented in writing but, didn't care very much for where the story went. the sections recounting the Great Chemical Spill were probably my favourite and the most gut-wrenching horrifying bit of writing in here. I also feel like the description of depression is ON POINT. But I wouldn't recommend anyone I know read this because it's like a great big diary entry of someone getting magically better after one dose of medicine and then everything becomes a breeze (read:boring).
