A really profound exploration of healing the trauma of abusive and toxic relationships. Some aspects of the plot and writing style just didn't work for me, especially the random dialogue choices that the main character made up for herself and then just didn't use. The constant pop culture references were a bit weird too - they are very salient for the present time but I feel like even a month or two later they will date the book and hurt the sense of companionship we feel with the characters.
