What an odd book. But well worth the read. Took me on an emotional rollercoaster, some of the behaviours were painfully recognisable. Rachel’s story is interesting and the thoughts, dreams and actions made her into a real person, someone who I can envision so realistically

This was my first book by Broder and I will certainly be reading more. I did have a heads up this would be weird going in which I think helped, but I think the weird was used well and was necessary.

I personally liked the ending, however, I get why others didn't. I like endings where there is some realism about how much people are able/willing to change for each other, but I definitely get that it's frustrating

i went into this knowing that i wasn't the target audience for this novel but still came out at the end of this book feeling like i had been through something extremely off-putting. it's a psychosexual obsessive and heavy-handed story with just an uncomfortable level of descriptive Freudian fantasization.

there were a lot of interesting ideas from the author but not a single one of them felt fully explored, probably because there wasn't a single 3-dimensional character to flesh them out. it felt flat and repetitive and anti-climatic.

also, my favorite quote from the entire novel turned out to just be a Yiddish proverb.

<i> "Ah! For a little love, you pay all your life." </i>
