I'm sobbing now I finished this book it was another good book by Matt haig and definitely one I'll be talking about for a very long time.
Huge flirting with nora was so cute
"The sex turned out to be disappointing"
"You are just a Mechanism"
This book is sooo good
This book made me fall in love with the charcters and felt the stories I would recommend this to everyone I know especially if you don't believe you should be here, you are loved and I'm glad you are alive.
I'm so glad joe got sober and he became the person he needed to beðŸ˜
This book was so inspiring and hit me hard unfortunately I know how nora felt throughout This book, and some of the topics hit home for me, the best advice I can give any reader is please take care of yourself after reading this there is plenty of heavy topics

this has been one of my favourite books since I first listened to it in 2021. I've since re-listened to it about 1x/year on average, and I anticipate that's a tradition I'll keep going. an absolutely heart wrenching read, and every time I return to it I feel like I get a better understanding of both the setting and the ways it pushes against the world. the characters are all believable, and the motivations never feel contrived or forced by the plot. especially when secondary characters are met in much different circumstances there's a heart to them that still feels relevant. a very consistent through-line, if that makes sense? it's by no means a "light" read, but it's a weight worth bearing.
