Regan with her anxious attachment and self destructive tendencies felt like I was reading about myself at times. She struggles to connect with the world around her and her struggles felt so honest to me as a reader. I am so glad I picked up this book. One of my top reads this year.

This book deals heavily with toxic parental and romantic relationships. It also centers on two characters dealing with what it means to be mentally ill and also trying to be a good person.arturo_luzen's review against another edition

While reading this book did I get a thought. I believe you will like this book if you like "Normal Peopel" by Sally Rooney then you will probably like this one. Those two books are both similar but also not. It's hard to explain, but I didn't like either so (?).
Don't remember much of the book when I write this :(
Took me 8 hours and 26 minuts.

Isso porque, já que a narrativa é extremamente focada nos personagens principais, acredito que é quase impossível gostar da obra sem gostar deles (ou, pelo menos, sem entendê-los). Em termos objetivos — ou tão objetivos quanto consigo ser com relação a esse livro —, o que realmente importa para uma narrativa centrada em personagens é se seu desenvolvimento é feito de forma adequada e se é possível, mesmo diante da impossibilidade de focar em outros personagens, entender bem a forma que os protagonistas se encaixam no contexto em que estão e com as pessoas com quem convivem.
