Like many things in 2020 this book is awful.
Just read all the goodreads and amazon 1 and 2 star reviews.
Characters were so underdeveloped
Failed miserably at being philosophical
Condescending at best to anyone with severe depression and suicidal ideation! It basically chalks up to telling a severely depressed person “aww smile and be happy for what you have!”
So much more wrong with this book. I feel like I need to join some sort of support group for hating it so. EVERYONE seems to love it and I can see why so many people don’t seem to understand mental health and suicide. It’s so dark down there and this book sorely misses the mark.
I wasn’t reading this book for philosophy or to feel uplifted. I chose it because I loved the concept, I thought it would be much more developed. I can’t even tell you what anyone looked like or what their personalities were? I liked the cat. That is about it.
