I feel like this book was kind of mediocre for my taste. For me, the author tries to convey accurate portrayals of anxiety and depression but it doesn’t translate very well to the characters that are left kind of plain in their 1. ordinary nature but 2. also on their pretensious nature. Aka the characters seem ordinary but they are more like pretensious images of what a college-aged characters and relationships should look like. I didn’t feel the connection between the characters and the afterfeel of the book was basically a sad limbo. So 3/5
