i’m obsessed with this book. a really unique commentary on mental health through the perspective of a quirky protagonist with a questionable moral compass. i admire the writer’s ability to take such a dark and nuanced topic and explore it in a humorous and somewhat light-hearted way. one of my top reads of the year!
