Caution: when you read this book, it will be for a long time but perhaps not a good time.

It might be impossible for me to give this book a fair review. My star rating might change later but before getting into that…

The interesting things about “Wellness”:
- The non-linear narrative style, though the structure is often foreshadowed (I.e. the marriage/life bell curve, the hyperlink story)
- Multiple character POVs
- Deep and interesting research
- Profoundly complex characters
- So many layers and twists

Frustrating parts:
- Very long
- Several chapters that are seemingly irrelevant until you get to the end and see the whole picture come together.

Why I have a hard time giving this a fair review:
- Too relatable and hit way too close to home - somehow managing to touch on every insecurity and anxiety I have at the time of this review.
- Because I’m going to probably end up crying while talking about this book at the book club I attend that’s at a bar and I’m resentful for it.
