I didn't know much about this book; I chose it for a reading challenge since it won the National Book Award. I found the narrative style to be appropriately confusing, and I liked how Caden's realities flowed in and out of each other. It was fun figuring out the corresponding people and events in the real world versus his delusions. I found the depiction of mental illness to be compassionate and layered rather than simplistic. Two thumbs up.

"...it kills him a little to stifle that part of himself. He was meant to be glorious. With me, in these small private moments, he can be." p.99

I'm listening to this and it is SO GOOD. The narrative style is appropriately confusing, and the reader does a great job at giving the characters differing voices.

"The first step is to consider the arguments and evidence and choose to stay. After that, anything may happen. First, choose to stay." p.234. I'm in tears over here.

This paragraph right here. YES.

"We tend to think of our contribution to another person's life as a balance sheet: on one side things done well, on the other, things done poorly; we tend to forget the immense good accomplished by agreeing, in the face of pain, to life." p.147

That one time when you're reading a book about suicide at work and you can't convince anyone that it's because you're in a philosophy phase right now. #bookishproblems
