(I don’t know if this really is spoiler, but marked as one anyway)
It’s beautiful, but hits too close to reality without warning. I was expecting complexes characters, romance and fun resulting in a good and happy distraction from the moment I’m in my life.
The star that I didn’t give was lost due how slow it was at some points, a lack of a breathtaking climax, how once he starts getting things fixed the book rushes (this part is important too and the process of getting better isn’t linear, it’s worth writing , worth showing and really worth reading).
And I would really appreciate some kind of warning that the story would keep real that much. There are times I crave this kind of book, but it wasn’t today.
I feel like I wasted a great book by reading it in the wrog state of spirit.
