God I love an unreliable narrator and god does this book give you just that. The author's note provides so much context for the plot I wish I'd read it first before diving in because the tone of this novel is just so wretched the whole way through I almost couldn't finish it; I'm still not quite sure how I feel but I am glad I persevered because I grew so fiercely protective of Julian lmao

It wasn't until the last act that the true nature of Paul and Julian's dynamic began to make sense, and the feeling of their increasingly frantic desperation to reach each other is visceral. A perfect depiction of teen angst at its absolute worst, the clearest way I can think to explain the reading experience of this book is to think of the narrative as just one long intrusive thought. Incredible.
