This book was so captivating to me, yet tough to read because of how relatable so much of it was. It took turns I wasn't expecting and ones I saw coming but felt just as hard when they actually happened. The author, Catherina Prasifka, also gives us a masterclass in unreliable narrator which challenges the reader to see past what is written before us. Intelligently written and quick to read, would recommend!

i related to the mc’s internal beliefs so much and i wonder if other people find her and thus me and irritating character… there were so many lightbulb “i’ve thought the exact same thing” moments. the whole crack thing was a little confusing, i get it showed uncertainty but it didn’t seem like there was much point to it - maybe that was the point. at times it did feel like a wannabe self help book, took me out of the book everytime but jesus if she wasn’t out through the ringer, everything that happened is so so awful and yet it’s so common and realistic. makes me want to psychoanalyse the entire book
