"Hello, my darlings! Loosen up! Live a little! Suck a dick! Tell a joke! Fall in love! Show up to start trouble when it’s necessary and don’t whine when the world doesn’t hold your hand!”
I was so excited to read this book, so being a part of the blog tour has been amazing. Knowing what this book was kind of about, I went into it with an open mind and an open heart. And this took me into a whirlwind of emotions.
Alex in a way describes what depression could look like, can feel like, or better the lack of. But for him, it was different. It was something deeper, and it made me feel sad. It gave me an understanding of not knowing what or who you are. The mess that you feel is your life and how Alex just wanted to feel like a real person. Discovery is what this book was, it was also self-awareness and expectance. I gave this read a 4/5 star rating. I really enjoyed the emotional grasp this had on me as I was reading this book. Alex made me hurt as he went through his struggles and experimented on his journey.
I could feel the loneliness he felt and the excitement he felt to have people that could understand him. Even the darkness that enveloped him when he started to feel whole only to feel lonelier and emptier. I would have liked to see what his parents took it but I also loved that it was left open to what we might think would happen. And I believe they would accept him and tried their best to help him in any way possible. I also would like to think that his mother had a bit of intuition and realized it only to give him the time he needed to say something.
The book was so easy to read and I found myself invested in Alex, I also felt like the book was a quick read. The flow was quick and easy and I would not put the book down. I highly recommend it!
