damn... dont really know where to begin. this story was rough. rough because of how fucking sad it was. not a happy ending, not a happy story. i was warned about that when i came into this to be honest, so i wasn't reallyyyy surprised. it was so, so well done though. i really really really liked the writing. it felt so entertaining and soooo unique. metaphors for the characters that coincides with the title and becomes explained later? hell yeah. so well done. writing was almost addicting. characters felt canon and they just made sense. im not one who struggles with anxiety or any mental disorder but i felt like i could really picture it because of the writing. writing genuinely made me envision what a party would feel like for somebody incredibly anxious. so fucking good. the plot was really really good honestly. no matter how sad and dark it was it was still done so well. im really one for the really sappy happy stories but this was just the opposite and i thought i would have hated it. to my surprise, i enjoyed it because of how grounded it felt and realistic. the mention of violence, abuse, heavy drug use, anxiety, ptsd, and loss of a close friendship felt so real... holy shit... the characters learning how to cope and live with these traumas and themes was just so fascinating, but also just fucking depressing dude. i just felt so bad for all the characters and how deeply they were struggling. loved the use of side characters and how important they were to the fic. really really liked how they contributed to the plot and how they weren't just thrown off and forgotten about. also liked the chapters sometimes dedicated to them. first 3 chapters were the happiest and i was so excited then it all went downhill. got depressing real fast. kudos to the author for the unique relationships each character had. also although intimate shit was included it wasn't super descriptive which i really appreciate, no points off. super super sad but necessary story. reminded me life isn't peaches n cream. definitely need some over the top happy sappy go lucky story to get over this.
points off for the bullshit cliff hanger and for never finishing it. sorry for what u went through though, author.
