Sight! Depression is a big thing people, don't go saying that you just have to cheer up or shit like that. The struggle is real and not easy to handle. Please, be like Ethan's friends. I liked this story a lot. It's slow burn but lovely and it totally felt real, the protagonist and friends went through a lot, I'm happy that he found his way. I do love the fact that their encounter was meant to happen since way before, like destiny. I would like to know Jimmy background story, it's the only thing it's missing for me. Anyway, it's a great story and an automatic favourite.
