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.

Absolutely one of my all-time favorite books. I'm speechless. Shaun David Hutchinson, if you see this, I would like to give you a massive hug (with your consent, of course). I lost somebody that I loved to suicide in 2016. It was heart-wrenching. You, Sir Hutchinson, were able to perfectly capture how that loss made me feel through Henry's point of view. You know a book has done its job when it makes you feel less alone in this world. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for giving me that book.
