4.5
Struggled with the rating for this one, it was very realistic and honest and portrayed an inside perspective of mental health perspective accurately and heartbreakingly. I took .5 stars off because it was so bleak, man. No hopefulness and very ambiguous which the author intended to do and I get that but it made me cry
