3.0

the life and thoughts of a chronically depressed young woman who feels nothing anymore. imposing elements, reading feels like being in a bubble. Would’ve wished for stronger plot development and not being stagnant. character development only slightly seen.

Anti-Semitic mess. Not a book to be adored, it gets its lone star for the unfortunate realsism of suicidal thoughts.
