This book made me feel SO MANY FEELINGS. Some happy, some sad, some furious, some distraught. But that’s what makes a good book. The writing was incredible, thoughtful and thought provoking. Just amazingly creative and clever. 
Yes there were plenty of toxic elements to the many relationships in this but navigating those is also a part of life. They were authentically human and both Sam and Sadie made mistakes. I don’t like that she still meets up with dov in the end but just goes to show the long lasting effects that (TW) grooming and manipulation can have on a person. This overall was a realistic, messy, heart wrenching, heart warming story about human connection and love. What else is there? 
The NPC has my heart. 

This review was written and book was read prior to learning about xenophobic author.

One of the few books where miscommunication wasn't just a plot device, but made so much sense for each character within each situation. Honestly, Marx was my favourite

which made things all the more devastating

.
 I loved how all the characters kept each other in such a  delicate balance, while having the flaws that carried the potential to tear everything apart

and how it did, eventually, come crashing down, but in such an unexpected way which mede the degenerative spiral the relationships had been even worse...

I really enjoyed the ways chronic pain, creativity & collaboration were explored as well. 

I'm docking. 25 for the relationship Sadie has with her married college professor, it just wasn't for me
