I really enjoyed this book, particularly as an adult who takes medication for my depression daily.
I wish the suicide scene had been omitted completely from the book. I felt such relief when the author skipped right over the suicide attempt so we didn’t have to read/listen to it but the attempt was clarified at the very end of the book, splicing details about her suicide into the last chapter. I did not appreciate that.
