Okay so that’s a joke, but honestly, anyone who has dealt with depression, suicidal ideation, or even just complete failure and despair will resonate with this story. Despite the topic, the book made me feel quite hopeful and grateful for my life. I see it as a novel length thought experiment about the “what if’s” in our lives we may ruminate on.
Ultimately I don’t often dole out 5 star reviews. Only the books that change my life get those. Please read this book, if you’re in a place to do so. Anyone and everyone could benefit from its themes.

CW for self injury and self harm, as well as suicidal thoughts and ideation. These topics are central to the story, not a passing plot point, so those sensitive to these topics should use their discretion.amirez1043's review against another edition
