Wow this was such an interesting book! I'm going to be honest, I had this idea in my head that it was going to be fantasy, which...no. I am kind of drawn to books where characters are in like...unhealthily co-dependent relationships but they acknowledge that and it's kind of like the other person is a part of them they couldn't get away to if they wanted to? I don't know if that makes sense. But this book has that. I enjoyed it!
