i got this book for christmas 2021, and i just finished reading it about a minute ago. and i think it had to be one of my favourite books of all time. i get why some people don’t like this book but i love it. it’s helped me so much and i am thankful for it. the way ned vizzini writes about depression is so real and true. as someone who is struggling with mental illness it is like reading about myself. this book made me fee less alone. i wish i could thank ned for what he has done for me. rest in the most peace
