i was definitely locked in to this book and i think as someone who has faced the horrors of depression, the desire to sleep forever was probably more approachable for me than for others. there are a couple bows left untied:
why didn’t we get to hear more about the artwork
why did the ending feel so rushed
. that being said, i enjoyed the read and was another good book to pull me back into my love of reading
