Masterpiece for the current times. Reading ilysm is like going through a satisfying purge while binging on a postmodern Netflix miniseries. This is an ode to a confused generation who has been thrown into the hopeless mess of its predecessors. Jimmy's journey is not just a coming-of-age tale but a painfully relatable story of one's inevitable pursuit of love and wholeness in a fragmented world.
