The writing was amazing like actually so great. I literally tabed so many pages. I am not sure if I am going to read it again. I kinda had a problem relating to the characters. They didn’t speak to me. It was not really inclusive as well. I don’t know if it lives up to the hype but it’s still good
The quiet made her realise how much noise there was elsewhere in the world. Here, noise had a meaning.

Nora decides after experimenting with a lot of different lives that she really does want to live after all, is able to wake herself up from her overdose, and suddenly just gets over her depression, and everyone reconciles with her, and she just decides to be happy. I don’t think real life is ever that simple, and I don’t think depression suddenly becomes manageable just because you choose to be happy. I don’t like when books use suicide as a plot device.Graphic: Suicidal thoughts, Suicide attempt, and Mental illness
