the start of this book did not sway me at all. I found myself a bit bored at times and was ready to put it down. The shift came when I decided to pull an all-nighter and began really reading it. I was interested in the writing alone... sometimes hard to follow but good nonetheless. I feel like read maybe two books in one, there were places in the book where I was thinking, "Is this needed?"

I think when the six-question scenario was at play, I was intrigued.. Wanting them to always have conversations. I felt a connection to Aldo, more than I did to Regan. Seeing how much mental health plays in day-to-day relationships is eye-opening. Some of the run-off-the-leash actions Regan would do, reminded me so much of myself. I felt like it embodied exactly what it is like to have this type of illness. Sometimes it's hard to coexist with our own mental health problems and life in general. Oftentimes we separate the two and try our best to not let them collide. Obviously, it doesn't work out for Regan. I am glad I read the acknowledgment, normally I don't, I felt a bit closer to the story because of the author's own experience.

Overall this book was good, a very quick read, and something that doesn't take too long to follow.

I had heard so many rave reviews about this book and whilst the story was intriguing, personally not my cup of tea. Beautifully written though!

This book is undeniably pretentious and tries far too hard to be philosophical, yet that perfectly manages to capture the invincible feeling that love creates in you.

The writing at times is far too chaotic and almost illogical and somehow that represents exactly what love is to me.
