I relate so much with the main character: although, it’s different in some way, I struggled with the same people problems. For one, I had an oppressive mother (he doesn’t - but he felt this towards other girls in general) and it would be refreshing to finally love my life away from her. He found life was better when he was away from the source of his problems (I want that tbh, I’m still not able to escape the grasp of my mom bc I also have school problems and financial problems. So I have to work hard). He also got disillusioned about other people (for him women) and for me I experienced that a lot with family close relatives and close friends.
Reading this, you can imagine how healing I felt.
