Good pace, they wait until you care about the characters to start tugging on your heart strings. Issues I haven’t seen spoken about in other books. Very well structured, loose ends tied in a way that doesn’t feel rushed or forced. A good read!

This is such a tough book to rate because, on the one hand, it's beautifully written, sad, and engrossing. But on the other hand, I didn't get out of it what all the other reviewers who rated this book highly seem to have done.

To me, this was not a beautiful book about love a friendship. It was a book about the potential toxicity of friendship and the natural selfishness of those who suffer in silence. None of the characters ever communicated with one another, which I found desperately frustrating, and to put it bluntly, no character other than Marx was even remotely likeable. But that doesn't mean it wasn't a great book.

The relationships in this book are messy and tragic. But none of it felt like real love and friendship to me. Instead, it was a book about victims, one that proves the old adage that "hurt people hurt people."

I'm glad I read it. It was a good book. But I'll never read it again. It's a compliment to the author when I say the grimy feeling of toxicity stays.

it took me three? four? months to finish this book and it only added to my existential dread. about a quarter into reading this, i already knew i'd be unhappy about the ending – and i was, but in a good way? i really don't know what to think of this book. i definitely recommend reading it, it is definitely an experience.
