“you don’t need a reason to leave. wanting to leave is enough.” 

i picked up this book a few months ago but then life happened and then i started a series instead and after awhile completely forgot about it. then the other night i downloaded the audiobook and drove around my city while listening to it and laughed and cried and smiled. i had picked this book back up at such a specific time in my life it almost felt unreal. i truly enjoyed this read.

4.5

Honestly incredible book. Sugar has a way of seeing the world that is all at once heartbreaking and immensely hopeful. I was given this by my partner and I hadn't finished it before I bought a copy for my Mum. It really helped me do some much needed processing about a past relationship and look at the world a little differently. My only gripe is that Sugar at one point describes someone who's polyamorous as needing to make a descision and settle down, which is pretty disheartening to read as a polyam person.
