this is gonna send me into some state but the writing. please, yes.
Spoilerwhen shuggie let his mum die because he gave up the hope that she'd change?? goodbye, i jumped out several windows
 

maybe the singular issue i saw here is the scottish slang. like, it's realistic but still it took me a while to get the hang of it and i even resorted to a glossary of slang i found online.
