This was just absolutely so REAL and RELATABLE. The MC has anxiety, I am 1000% positive of this, because I do, very badly. I was so happy to have this rep shown so very accurately. Anxiety is (one of the) bane(s) of my existence. I overthought everything my entire life, actually, and this is definitely shown through the MC of the novel.
