I can't talk too much on this one, since it did kind of put me in a depressed mindset, a relapse I wasn't particularly expecting, but that doesn't make me hate the book.

What it does, it does very well, with all the positivity one can muster from a book with this kind of plot. I was getting some massive J.D. from Heathers vibe from Derek, but thankfully the latter character has a better ending.

I'm also thankful to Z for actually putting a warning in the front of the book instead of at the end where further reading or telephone sources usually are. Very considerate.
