thor's review against another edition

1.0

i cannot provide a short and sweet summary of how much was wrong with this book. a deeply patronising surface level look at depression but everything is tied up with an incredibly neat bow at the end. the narrator is deeply misogynistic, homophobic, biphobic, and ableist, and she does not apologise or realise the error of her ways for all of these things. she is deeply, deeply horrible to everybody else in her family and life and blames THEM for her being so horrible to them. also there is a truly alarming amount of incest in this book, including one of the final couples being incestuous (well, step-incest).

emotional tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

Not CH’s best. The ending felt like a PSA

for depression

and the mature themes were kind of just brushed aside.

Yay for mentioning therapy, but not yay for having the main character just forgive a sexual assault and years of trauma with a hug and then moving on from a suicide attempt like it didn’t happen.
