This really pushed some visceral emotional buttons for me. It was probably one of the most uncomfortable stories I've read in a long time. The relationship between the two main characters hit so very close to home as to be anxiety inducing. I haven't yelled (in my head) at fictional characters in a very long while and I found myself doing that throughout. This was so relatable, and despite being so uncomfortable, it was also very, very good.

Miller why were you so stupid bestie? Seriously, don't give narcissistic folks second chances, they'll never deserve it. This was fucked, but it got me out of my 2 month reading slump, so I appreciate out of this story.

It was well written and the perfect length, but man was Miller an idiot. Poor Florence not knowing what could have happened to her fiance. Or maybe she rescues Miller and gives Sylvie what's coming to her.
