i thought i would like this more than i did :( the pacing felt a bit off and the characters, kind of unpolished. not even in a “they’re flat” kind of way, but in a “i don’t understand and i can’t connect with them” kind of way. i guess my expectations were too high 😕
Graphic: Domestic abuse, Suicide, and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Homophobia and Racism
