DNF at 38 pages. I just couldn't get into Andrew's voice and what he was doing. It was like reading someone's diary but their life is boring so what's the point. The comics in the book were also too small to read on my device so they didn't add anything for me.
God I shed so much tears with this book... Woaw. It's really one of the most beautiful book I've ever read. It's moving, quite deep, a bit dark (but isn't life also a bit dark ?) but also packaged with hope, dreams, ... The story is wonderful and the main character is really lovable, so are his relations with the other hospital inhabitants. Quite rare also, the main character is gay, which I think it's quite lacking nowadays, and his psychology is wonderful, a bit tormented, but really kind-hearted. Loved it !
