I read this book on a day that I incidentally had a lot of free time, normally I probably would have taken 2 days. I really enjoyed this book! I loved the sentiment and warmed up to the main character and ended up really liking her. There is a magical element to the book, but I didn't even realize it until I was reading reviews here, and had just assumed that these things were just stories/in the mind of the MC. (view spoiler)[ I also really enjoyed in the acknowledgements that King addressed Socrates and some of the other elements as well, because I was really concerned/confused about the line between magic and possible hallucinations. While I thought the the end resolutions were nice, some of them were unbelievable. I really didn't like Dee and didn't get into their relationship AT ALL, but did like the acknowledgement that her behavior was unacceptable as too many times that sort of thing isn't talked about. (hide spoiler)] I love how Astrid's philosophy class influenced her so much, because I have that happen to me every semester and really loved that part of the book. It really reflected my own high school experience and all the existential crises I've gone through as well as my strive to understand the world. I will say that I was slightly triggered by the behavior and attitude by some of the characters so I would content warn: (view spoiler)[ emotional abuse, depression (that isn't addressed), unhealthy family dynamics, also breaches of consent and pushy sexual behavior (hide spoiler)] Even though now I'm reflecting and realizing there were many parts I didn't like about this book, and though it was an emotional journey for me personally, I still really enjoyed reading it and it did leave me with a lighthearted feeling by the end!
