One of the worst books I have ever red!! Not because it is badly written, but because the way this book speaks about/describes so many severe(!!) mental health issues in a casual/sarcastic way is just offputting to me. The ending just left me completely clueless and speechless what inspiration/message one should take from this book. There need to be trigger warnings for depression, suicidal behaviour/tendencies, drug abuse/addiction and so many more things. This book is honestly just weird and disturbing.
