Read 2 times. Last read November 20, 2020 to November 22, 2020.
I should not review books just after finishing because I end up changing my mind and having to edit my ratings.
I still like this book, but I DO agree that it's somewhat preachy and corny and I understand where the valid criticism is coming from. Such a serious topic requires more complexity in the storytelling and some stuff in the book was there very clearly only for the convenience of the final message. But it was enjoyable enough that I personally bought this convention, and as a person who struggles with mental health, it resonated with me. But it might very well not resonate with others.

Yeah! it was like a serotonin boost for me. And then I looked back and was like "well but it WAS very cheesy too"
