Feels really autobiographical to me
Very sad book
I had hoped Charlie would get better
It did seem like he desperately wanted to get better just like everyone in his family seem to want him to be
I don’t see the relevance of Leah’s MFA group but I guess that’s just to show she had some sort of life
Also the part about her mother felt flat
Unless it’s to somehow point to a factor in her brokenness
That trace and meet part too seemed like some closure was planned for but that too did not seem tied to any relevant end for me
Her family; I don’t know what exactly they’re ; supportive or otherwise; it seems undecided

raisinreads's review against another edition
both the characters and the relationship felt hollow. she kept narrating all of his great traits and how good he was, but none of that was shown. which could make sense in the way that shes justifying their relationship even to herself. but the book just jumps things and doesnt go into any depth in their relationship
