Navel-gazing trash. This entire novel could have been avoided if these characters could get their heads out of their own asses long enough for an honest conversation. At least Connell gets therapy, they both need it desperately.
Graphic: Domestic abuse, Physical abuse, Suicidal thoughts, and Toxic friendship
Minor: Sexual content and Suicide
