It's like looking into someone's brain and reading their stream of consciousness.

this is a typical case of right book, wrong time. i read the book in august 2022 when i wasn't in the mood to read stories about people falling in love, raising a child together, wives being cheated on or marriages. or anything about love really. additionally i had such high expectations on this book, because back in the day basically every bookstagrammer reviewed this book as a 5 star read. maybe i will read it again sometime when i feel more like it.
