Nothing more fulfilling than reading a book that throughput is 4⭐️ and when you near the end you think if it goes one way it’ll have to go down to 3⭐️ but then it goes a complete opposite way, makes you shiver and tear up and you can’t help but give it 5⭐️

The book kept me engaged and on my toes but not freaked out, and I feel anyone who’s ever been depressed or felt alone can highly relate to the story and what July is going through in each page. This book is so much deeper than it looks, I guess going in blindly as I usually do I was simply expecting a psychological thriller, perhaps post apocalyptic, but instead it was lyrical and full of metaphors and it was such an amazing realization to have, I definitely recommend it.

If you enjoyed we were liars you would love this one, but if you didn’t (like me 🙈) I think you would love it just as much. This is a coming of age story that deals with grief and mental health in anachronic short chapters (honestly if you love short chapters this is your book), and to top it all up: there’s a cat.

But as always: take care of yourself and read the trigger warnings.
