Easy to read and follow, but doesn’t touch heavier subjects with enough care. Unfortunately presents outdated ideology which perpetuates suicide as a selfish and blame-worthy while avoiding any actual mention of the mental health troubles that factor in to this kind of tragedy. The fact that this is glossed over while our protagonist grieves all, “woe is me,” left me feeling as though there was little-to-zero character development by the end, and that this outcome was pointless for the storytelling.
