Wow! Where should I begin?
Reading this book reminded me of The Bell Jar.
The constant melancholy and emptiness, the struggles with mental disorders, the indifferent tone of the main character as she narrated the events, all of it. The only difference is that there's more hopefulness towards the end of this book. The events never get as severe and gut-wrenching.
Sometimes, the pace of the story was really slow it became boring. I suppose it did a good job reflecting on how mental struggles can make everything dull and gray. As if the world is moving too fast, but you're stuck in slow-motion, unable to catch up.
But that's up for debate.
Some parts felt a bit cheesy and dramatic, but I could easily turn a blind eye since it wasn't too much.
Other than that, I adored the different dynamics between characters. Loved howl the chain of events took a different turn, and I could see the growth and improvement of the main character.
My advice? Read the book. It's good, and there's little to regret afterward.
