Some parts were trying to be a decent exploration of how relationships of all kinds evolve and change as life goes on, and some of the challenges around accepting that - but overall Nina was just so unlikeable that Iām surprised I was even able to finish the book!Ā
There was also some mild transphobia - the characters perceived silliness of cis people putting pronouns in their bios etc - author should probably know that itās acceptable and in part done to normalise people having different pronouns! Ugh!
Moderate: Toxic friendship, Dementia, and Toxic relationship
Minor: Transphobia

It managed to discuss serious topics like strained familial relationships, Alzheimerās, motherhood, life, and love, while also having lots of LOL moments. Absolutely loved Ninaās friendships (especially the one with Lola). They felt reverent and really special.
Overall this was a nice surprise, I thought it was so fucking smart, and I absolutely loved readingĀ
Moderate: Toxic relationship
