Brilliantly written - I wondered how the author would keep the timelines sensible and the story relevant when everything was essentially in reverse, but she pulled it off so well. Can be read for the writing style alone, but do heed the content warnings.

Loved the beginning, perhaps for its very coincidental timing to my life. The last third was kinda slow, and a little tricky to follow in reverse. But I love the concept
