romcomapologist's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional informative sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? N/A
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

if i could give this book 6 stars, i would. if i had read this with nothing on my plate i would’ve been reduced to a puddle on the floor, never to be materialised again. can’t give a full review here bc it’s a lot to process, but i’ll end on saying this is one of those books i would recommend everyone learn about and read.
