I think the writing is magnificent and i truly did enjoy reading it. Some scenes were a bit too much for me personally, but not in a sense that they were bad, just that they were really gruesome and a bit hard to read. I think it’s an interesting portrayal of love that isn’t good for any party involved. I wasn´t rooting for any of the characters, but i did feel deep pain for how the mc was feeling because i think that her emotions and her view of the relationship and herself were so beautifully transferred onto paper.

I love reading about unhinged women!!! But seriously this was an incredible book that felt so impactful. My heart hurt badly for our unnamed narrator with her struggles and everything she is going through. Nolan has a way of crafting words to so accurately reflect the human experience of someone feeling desperate to receive and give love - some of which I’d lived & felt overwhelmed by reading it. Check the trigger warnings though cause this one is a bit heavy!!

Quick read that unfortunately hits a little too close to home. Greatly written, but lugubrious.
