5.0
Genuinely a laugh-out-loud funny read that is both heartbreaking and hopeful. With painfully relatable reflections on love, relationships, and sex Broder leaves us with the final question of ‘do we actually need love?’ A lot of realism and a bit of magic, this is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time.
Graphic: Animal death, Self harm, Suicidal thoughts, Suicide attempt, Toxic friendship, and Abandonment
