Cw:suicide If you’ve always been happy with yourself i don’t think you’ll enjoy this book and relate to it as much as someone who has once thought about ending their life. I started this book when i was 16 and didn’t know much about life nor sadness and i couldn’t finish it, but when i picked it up again at 21 i was able to understand where the mc’s sorrow and depression comes from. But Coelho’s way of making his female characters ignorant puts me off a little.
Graphic: Mental illness, Suicide, and Suicide attempt
Moderate: Sexual harassment
