i liked it. it was small and not too impressionable, but lovely to read. a soft narrative voice with lots of unanswered questions, but it works.

I read this in one sitting on a train (took about 2 hours out of a 3 hour journey). I enjoyed it but it was very much less plot more vibes, but I enjoyed the vibes.

However, I didn't love the characters too much and some of their decisions were questionable to me, yet I did find them interesting and i was curious about them.

I wouldn't say don't read it, because it is well written and you can understand the main characters thought process, even if you don't agree with it (eg: the cheating debacle), but be warned that there isn't much plot and the characters aren't the best people.

Eh. This was fine? Nothing about it seems particularly amazing or stands out to me. The story feels like it's lacking something, like it's incomplete in some way. Characters are two dimensional and bland. The setting is eh, fine enough, nothing special.

It was an easy read but there wasn't anything else to say about it. It feels like I read something and nothing at the same time
