I loved the message that she portrayed that it is not your fault if you are in that situation and I think that is so important to know. I especially liked the end notes that the author wrote about how people who are living in neglectful relationships and mental illness. Peter and Roger meant well, even if they were creepy, and Peter sometimes mean, in trying to help. I would love to possibly see another novel with more a more in depth look at these characters. They seemed to be the voice of reason, along with Rina. I would have loved to know more about Peter and Roger, though. Personality changes may have been due to the tumor, though. I am happy that at the end, Jack seems to be not abusive as his problem is gone. I did not particularly like August and Jack’s relationship at first as it seemed like Jack could be abusive towards August, who was just trying his best to help his friend in need. It just goes to show that not everyone views the world the same way. Well in this case it was a tumor in the brain, but mental health, none the less.Īnyway, the story of the real world and the Wicker King’s world was interesting to read about and to read about the stark differences the two boys experienced was interesting. It was such an interesting read and look at how mental illness can affect those who are close to the person suffering. I particularly enjoyed the attention to detail as the pages got darker and darker the more in depth into the madness the two boys got.

At first I thought I was not going to like the way it was written, but I was surprised to see that it all flowed well and it was great to read. I was excited to start reading and I discovered that it is written in short, letter-like chapters. I did not really know what to expect with this book, but all I knew was that it involved mental health and two possible gay bois.
