This is a book "without words" or at least any I wanted to read. If you want to wallow in low energy and feelings of worthlessness, this is the book for you! Couldn't wait for it to end. ”

I found it very depressing and had to put it aside several times. ”

Easy to read. The author doesn't judge her characters, but creates them in such a way that (the main characters anyway) and fully realized and you have to judge or not judge them. Although the main topics of the book seem tough they are more universal than we all think.”
