5.0

Literally beautiful, shows the highs and lows of human life and the spirit it takes to grow and change in a world that is so messed up. Let’s you learn that people make mistakes and say the wrong things but everyone deserves to be okay and to get help. Our meaningless lives aren’t meaningless to us or the people around us and this crafted that narrative beautifully.

3.25; Objectively, this is a good story and it was written very well. I see why so many people love it and why it means so much to them, and I understand it can be especially important to those who’ve read it during specific times in their life. But subjectively it was hard for me to read because it was so incredibly bleak and depressing, and I didn’t enjoy that.

3.5

This book was mostly focused on Henry Denton, the main character, and his life rather than the description about aliens and the end of the world. It was a good book, weird at some points but it has some good lessons throughout. Although

I didn’t love how the end was a complete cliffhanger.

I give it 3.5/5 stars.

Everyone in this book sucks. Audrey is the only character with half a brain. The only reason I stuck with this book was because it had an intriguing premise, but it ended up being really disappointing. I’m glad this was a library book and I didn’t spend any money on it.

literally the most accurate portrayal of mental health struggles i’ve ever read. mind the triggers but i think this is critical for everyone to read before they die.
