Now what exactly was the message/theme of this book? If this is supposed to be a romance novel, it failed. I don't feel like Mattia and Alice have a connection at all and their first moments together seem like stupid insta love. If this is just supposed to be about the tragedy of unjustifiable events and emotions that are all over the place, it was okay.
The writing style is very fluid and the pages really flew by. It was really good at times. Very good metaphors and symbolics were used.
I didn't quite get what is happening and nothing is really truly of relevance but the first two chapters. The events are all over the place and not explained well enough for me. Mattia and Alice are portrayed as the "odd humans out" (prime numbers in this case). That mindset makes it particularly interesting to see them having a bad social life.
In conclusion, to me, it's a failed attempt at writing about unusual people having trouble being so unusual as if nothing bad ever happens to "normal" people.
Also the portraying of consent in this book???? Very questionable???
It also needs a trigger warning for eating disorders, really. It comes out of nowhere.
