Weird book. It could have been good. The writing was so off. It felt like a badly translated book. Word choices were off, the language was stilted and awkward, and some slang was weird and…vaguely British?

I was also slightly offended by the depiction of depression. The author made it seem like every person handled it the same way and it just made me extremely uncomfortable. It could have been a very personal depiction and I did get the sense that some though had been put into it. The overgeneralization of symptoms and the very casual and weird way one MC questioned wether the other MC would kill himself really bothered me. It wasn’t even followed up with. It made me feel like they were trying to make depression this big easy plot device and it felt inappropriate.
