This is one of the most bizarre book I've ever read. This is unhinged af
I would read he either books ironically.
They wear fucked up outfits and all of them are unhinged.

it’s different from colleen’s book in that it focuses more on conflict within a family rather than a relationship between just two people. there is only one sex scene but it doesn’t actually happen it the characters end it making it so the book rarely has any physical forms of kissing in it. the love between the merit and sagan slowly form throughout the book but very slowly that it’s literally painful and in the end their connection/love isn’t how I expected her to write her books. no sex scenes just pure and innocent love

i cannot provide a short and sweet summary of how much was wrong with this book. a deeply patronising surface level look at depression but everything is tied up with an incredibly neat bow at the end. the narrator is deeply misogynistic, homophobic, biphobic, and ableist, and she does not apologise or realise the error of her ways for all of these things. she is deeply, deeply horrible to everybody else in her family and life and blames THEM for her being so horrible to them. also there is a truly alarming amount of incest in this book, including one of the final couples being incestuous (well, step-incest).

I enjoyed this book. I think the ending especially was really well done and left me feeling like the plot and conflicts were thought out. I didn't feel myself pulled to it and anxious to find out more, and that is what really catches my attention. I think it was a little slow to start, but once the action started happening it was interesting to read. I feel like all of the characters I liked, but none of them I really cared for and was rooting for. I generally felt indifferent to them until the very end, when I was happy there was some resolution. I enjoyed the book and it was entertaining, but definitely isn't my favorite Colleen Hoover book.
