I adore Whimsy and Faerry. I adore the author's narration in the audiobook. I loved the music between chapters. 

I think McBride does an excellent job of Illustrating grief, guilt, depression, suicidal thoughts, through the lens of a fairytale written in verse. It's absolutely beautiful. I also really loved the message that you are still a person if you're struggling with mental health. A brain is still a brain, even without the serotonin.
