😀
i want to give this five stars because of how much i loved it when i first read it, and then reread it - but i feel like i'd need to read it again (it's 2023 as i'm writing this, so the last time i read it was 10 years ago) before i can give it that glowing of a review. especially because when i remember the facts of the events in the books, i can't remember how well they were handled. for example,
after a severe, disabling accident, the main character goes into very specific detail about how he plans to take his own life once he's released from the hospital, which is typically a big, big no-no but his method is so specific that i'm not sure if it would fall into a grey area on reread.
either way, i would hesitate to recommend this book until i double check.
