Slightly feeling it took a lot of time explaining the same things.
And it makes me question whether you should struggle this way for someone or should you give up as it really won't save him and it would only get worse?

The Happy years

It's painful hearing the point of view of the sufferer himself, but it's absolutely heartbreaking when you hear it from the pov of the people around him, his parents and how clueless and helpful they feel or whether to confront him or comfort him. Literally this is the saddest part by far.
Harold's POV, Chapter 3, the axiom of equality, August 29th 22 at 2 am!

"I didn't mean any of it. I was completely wrong. The things I did, but more than that, the things I said, they were meant for someone else. Believe me, because you believed me before: you are beautiful and perfect, I never meant what I said. I was wrong, I was mistaken, no one could ever have been more wrong than I was."

This book is captivating. And there's a chest aching sad vibe I have been feeling since I started. I have been hearing everyone saying how sad this book is. I barely started and nothing has happened yet. I am very worried about how sad it actually is!
