Regan arbeitet in einem Museum, sie wollte mal KĂŒnstlerin werden, aber stattdessen ist sie fast im GefĂ€ngnis gelandet. Regan hat einige Probleme, die sie aber nicht ganz offen mit allen teilt, nach auĂen wirkt sie fĂŒr alle wie ein kompliziertes Problem, das man sowieso nicht lösen kann, also warum sollte man sich nĂ€her mir ihr beschĂ€ftigen?
Aldo ist wohl der furchtbarste Mathe Prof aller UniversitĂ€ten der ganzen Welt. Meistens denkt er ĂŒber theoretische Mathematikprobleme, Quantenphysik oder Bienen nach (die Reihenfolge hier ist arbitrĂ€r). Sein gröĂtes Problem als Dozent ist jedoch nur, dass er nichts wirklich verstĂ€ndlich erklĂ€ren kann und er will das auch gar nicht können. Ignorant king đââïž! Aber dahinter stecken auch ganz viele eigene Probleme und vielleicht braucht er einfach diese Distanz zu anderen.
6 GesprĂ€che könnten alles Ă€ndern. Oder auch nicht, aber sie werden nicht mehr zu ihrem vorherigen Leben zurĂŒckkehren können. đ€
Schreibstil: 12/10 - genau so wie ich mir perfektes Storytelling vorstellen. Wenn ichs beschreiben mĂŒsste, wĂŒrde ich sagen, es ist sehr âstream of consciousnessâ (= so wie wir denken-mĂ€Ăig)
Charaktere: sind echt/10 - ich kann nicht mehr ohne sie leben

Regan with her anxious attachment and self destructive tendencies felt like I was reading about myself at times. She struggles to connect with the world around her and her struggles felt so honest to me as a reader. I am so glad I picked up this book. One of my top reads this year.

This book deals heavily with toxic parental and romantic relationships. It also centers on two characters dealing with what it means to be mentally ill and also trying to be a good person.arturo_luzen's review against another edition

There were snippets I read and it did feel deep and philosophical, as though Blake herself was peering into my soul and wrote the words on paper. Then all the other parts, they just⊠muddled together. I started skipping pages and pages of waffle which of course is charlottes mania. But the message to do with mental health therapy and TAKING MEDICATION I hated. I study psychology and counselling at university and there is absolutely in my mind a support for therapy, and sometimes medical intervention where therapy is not effective enough, this story says screw therapy and screw my meds!
I understand that the FMC is bipolar and maybe thatâs why she never bought it up but the therapist should of saw them signs earlier.
Also aldo and his father are a wonderful story and I actually enjoyed it mostly when they were talking to each other
Also also, sex doesnât heal everything!!!!!!
TLDR; not my type of genre, which I learnt through reading this, and the writing style⊠some good moments but a lot was not, although that does relate to the FMC personality.
Check trigger warnings.
