Matthew Quick’s debut novel hit big, launching a career many
aspiring writers can only dream of. His romantic drama highlights
important issues of mental health, how to live with it, and how it
effects all our lives. Pat Peoples is an engaging character and his
unusual relationship with Tiffany plays out in a surprising and
engaging tale that earns its “heartwarming” description by the
end.
Spoilers begin: 22:18

the narrative, Tiffany and the Manic-Pixie Dream Girl trope,
similarities to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and end with
a discussion on the value of depressing fiction in literature.
