I think the book’s message runs far deeper than “life is worth living.” There are many examples throughout the book that illustrate exactly how we can trick ourselves into regretting our life choices and distancing ourselves from the people we love through guilt and unshared feelings. I think having these instances exposed can help the reader reflect on the similar regrets in their own life and how those feelings can be managed, which allows the story’s message to feel very personal to each individual reader.
