Reminds me of The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Not bad, but really check the trigger warnings before reading.

Read all in one night on a whim, I'm probably not the most reliable source for an opinion
  • I relate to the main character's feelings about school and intelligence
  • The main character and his best friend Aaron remind me of a friendship I used to have
  • The book moves really slow at times and I think the formatting and organization of information could've been better. Or put in a different order that was more interesting to read. 
  • The main character is really bland to me. Feels kind of like a self insert or a blank slate for the reader to project themselves on to. I'm not his biggest fan. The side characters are really interesting though, I wish we got to see them more. 
  • Finding community within a time of pain and reaching out to loved ones
  • I dont like the way they talk about trans people or women
  • Shows stigma and fetishization about mental health, especially within other teenagers
  • I really disliked the ending, it left me feeling gross. I think it was really bad and not good for other people to be looking up to.

Been in a bit of a reading slump since finishing It’s Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini. I’m not going to rate it out of politeness to the author who died by suicide in 2013. I had a lot of issues with this book, but my biggest was it made me feel unwell mentally after reading it. If you have MIs, I don’t suggest. It is an own-voice record, which is better than most MI books. Just know if you decide to read it, please go in prepared.
