I don't even know how I feel about this. It was very gripping and I thought realistic of some people and relationships, but I have troubles with my own psyche and this made me feel so weird. Like I'm not even real. But I guess that means it was well written?

The story aside I actually hated how dialogues were written without quotation marks. A lot of times it wasn't entirely clear what the characters said and what was only in their head. And because of the way this reads everything felt even more muted and depressing.
