It just bored me. There wasn't really anything of value I got from the book. The only message I got was a really "I'm 14 and this is deep" sort of message, that you can also find on an instagram page for motivational quotes.
At some point, the author writes about himself in the third person and describes how he heard about this story and talks about himself. That was really weird because it just came out of nowhere and has no relevance whatsoever to the rest of the book.
Now that I finished the book I can kinda see why he added that part but still... it was just a waste of time.
