I have mixed feelings about this one in a way that I don’t know if this made want to cry out of despair or relief.
I’ve read Out Of Love and honestly, this one was slightly heavier and somehow darker..? So heed the warnings. While both books surround a break-up, Better By Far broadly spoke of grief beyond a failed relationship. It was about grief for the life and people one could have had.
It starts off a little slow and I almost DNF but I really did not want to because I remember loving Hazel Hayes’s debut. Needless to say, it got better at around 30% until the end.
