They never stop talking and yet say so little. So many conversations yet such poor communication. Pages of reflection and yet personal stagnation is the result.

This book was easy read however there wasn’t that much to the plot.
Parts were difficult to read as it touches on self harm but overall the story lacks depth

‘After that I put some cold water on my face and dried it, the same face I had always had, the one I would have until I died.’

I get it guys! I get it. Her written voice is compelling. Even when things got repetitive, I still found the character voices and emotional atmosphere absorbing.
