Really interesting perspective to tell the story from (both boy and book). I liked the music references, but there could've been more to them. Seemed like an accurate portrayal of mental health struggles though I can't attest. Ending felt somewhat unresolved:
I was rooting for Annabelle to figure things out, and ended up surprised by Benny's character development.
