I thought I’d like this a lot more than I did but I can’t put my finger on why 🤔

Such a sad story! I thought the behaviors of the protagonists were very realistic, especially the love bombing texts an how easy it was to creep back into old bad behaviors, it felt very realistic. That being said, I did think the relationship between them felt more surface level - it was a lot of "I loved running errands with Charlie, I loved listening to music with Charlie, etc." but very little examples of the actual growth in their relationship. I also thought it w uld have been cool to see more inserts of her writing (the entire novel she's trying to get this one short story published, but we never get to see any of it!). Then ending also didn't have a ton of reflection, I think it would have packed more of a punch if it had been more introspective, loved the last page though.
