I don’t really know what I expected, but it was kind of sad. It had a lot to do with family and depression I think. There was no real support for the characters who were suffering which was the sad part. I don’t think I will ever read this again.

The art is beautiful. Very beautiful. The plot is... well, there's kind of no plot. It kind of just goes around, and literally jumps around. It's extremely fast-paced, and it's a good thing that I was in the mood for a fast-paced book.
