found it a little bit boring, from the first person perspective, guess i’m not a character driven type of reader. and i really understand the topics and issues she brings up and i appreciate that but i just can’t relate that much. like a person really can be in a toxic relationship and not realising it thing, maybe it can but not for me. i feel everyone has a responsibility to educate themselves about these things and we just can’t always say what happened during our childhood and parenting, because when we’re all grown up it’s our responsibility to make our lives better. just a personal opinion

4.5

Reading this felt like reading the author’s diary - or my own diary, of some version of myself that I know could exist in some alternate reality where some things happened to me in a slightly different way, pushing me deeper and further into obsession and self-hatred and so many other familiar things. This was a slightly uncomfortable, intense and scary read, scary because of a sudden and surprising recognition of what the protagonist was feeling and struggling with. I really enjoyed it!!!!
