I honestly didn't think it would delve that deep into the matters of suicide. I have read books about suicide before. ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES...among others. Nonetheless, I found the matter in which it is spoken here to be off-putting, gritty and sincerely appalling. I guess it's me and not the story. I'd rather not say.

Isn't that the main concept of writing? To make the reader find itself in the characters they read until they rehearsed them over and over again to catch a glimpse of...something more of themselves. That's why I find this book, this is story, marvelous.
Excellent way to start the year, I'd say. With existential ramifications....more
