If my DNF you mean “did not finish” than don’t worry. You really didn’t miss anything. I was so tempted to stop reading it as well. But I was holding out thinking something will come of it…but nope

If anything, this book made me kinda ~depressed~ and I say that very loosely. Seeing how bad the main character got was just upsetting, especially if you are someone who struggles yourself. Hence why I was so tempted to stop reading it hahaha but I sadly assumed there would be a “breakthrough” moment for both the MC and my own mental sake

Well I suppose not having a breakthrough at the end sadly reflects reality in a lot of cases.
