I appreciated how the main character navigated her life and her abundance of empathy for others. Unfortunately, this book narrates a toxic relationship which Adelaide has a difficult time realising and accepting. This fact in itself is the entire plotline for this novel, and I found myself wanting to slap her stupid and understanding the ways she continues to get into the rut that is this relationship.
Adelaide's hallelujah moment in coming to terms with her own mental fragility was empowering. Though if I am honest, Adelaide was lucky. She had her realisation, her friends swarmed her with support, and her job was accommodating enough to allow her the time to adjust and recover. As heart warming as it was for Adelaide, this is not the reality a lot of people face and felt almost too good to be true.
