The hype for this one didn't quite match the actual quality of the story. But it was decent.
It was so real that it sometimes felt like a biography of real characters rather than a fictional story. It moves through time and relationships in a very heartbreaking way but it honestly doesn't feel as hopeful as it was described to me. I heard good things about this book and didn't love it like I expected to. It's a good premise and story but it didn't hit quite right for me in the way everyone interacted. The author does an incredible job of portraying trauma and mental illness. I like the chapters of game-play near the end- it felt like playing stardew valley lol.
