I really struggled with this one. I didn't have to put it down and walk away, but I found myself not really wanting to read it a few times.

Similarly to Normal People it also covers some heavy topic material and has a number of trigger warnings.

Realistically, I can't really say I enjoyed it, I mostly feel neutral about it. There really wasn't anything I liked or specifically didn't like about it. It was just a book. One comment I had was how focused on sex it was, which for me is something I just don't enjoy reading in a book. For other people I'm sure that's not a real problem, but for me it was.
