Besides that it's a great example of how running, especially long distance running, can be a form of self-harm. Plenty of ED behavior in this book.
But it has some really funny and relatable parts and even though the main protagonist is quite unlikeable and I don’t necessarily agree with her actions, I GET her in more aspects than I like to admit.

I found the main character sympathetic but frustrating. She's generally pretty unable to take care of herself, pushes away communities that could help her, has very low self esteem, self sabotages and is very self centered.
Very much does not romanticize Berlin. I think shows some of the ways it can be challenging to move there, but ultimately also shows the opportunities that abound that Daphne is unwilling or unable to accept and pursue.
I relate to her perfectionism, to her reluctance to take accountability for her circumstances and to her head in the clouds fantasy to experience many lives, her grief at not being able to do so.
