Ultimately, this book was just not for me BUT based on reading the reviews, I can see how people might connect to the characters. I just didn't :/ I thought it was a super interesting concept I just think I got a bit lost in the story. I felt like I had to scramble to understand the internal narration and was left hanging multiple times. Also I think the big emphasis on sex in the second half of the novel (not necessarily the act of doing it but just the emotion/thoughts behind it) also left me feeling really disconnected. It didn't feel like love to me it felt like two characters scrambling for co-dependence and seeing something in the other that wasn't necessarily there.
