Lots of TW: Sexual Assault, childhood trauma, death of sibling, medical, mental illness.
Interesting read, but also hard to read, in the sense of the contents, not language.
Characters to me didn't seem to have much depth, the book ends in a way I wasn't expecting, so I am not really sure what to think in a way? This book does make you think though.
Thank you NetGalley and publisher for my E-ARC in exchange for my honest review.

There’s nothing wrong with her by Kate Weinberg
Pub date: August 6, 2024
As someone who has depression and occasionally has “the big sad” this was a somewhat difficult read. HOWEVER Kate Weinberg did a great job at interjecting levity into her work. I will definitely be recommending this to friends and family who I wouldn’t necessarily be comfortable recommending romance novels to!
Thank you SO much for my ARC @kateweinberg, @netfalley and @putnambooks!
Potential spoiler:

I’m not a huge fan of ambiguous endings! is it because my bread and butter genre is romance? Is it because I lack imagination? The world may never know.

This book was wonderful. It truly opened my eyes to many things about myself and about the fragility of humanity. It’s empowering and debilitating at the exact same time. Truly extraordinary and wonderfully written. If you have an interest in distorted psychology and love, then this is a brilliant woven story of both.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing an eARC of this book, this is my objective review. I'm not sure how to describe this book, partly because I struggled to follow what was going on. I felt off-kilter while reading it and I'm not sure why, although I suspect it's partly because the main plot point is so enigmatic: what, exactly, is wrong with Vita? Is Luigi real or a hallucination? Is she physically ill or having a psychotic break? (Although, of course, both things can be true.) The ambiguity made it hard for me to fully sink into the story, although it does grab you quickly. The story is a bit dense with lots of undercurrents, and it definitely keeps you guessing. It's not a long book but it's also not a quick read. It was well-written but I think it may have been a little abstract for me. Also, there should be trigger warnings for this story; I won't give them to you here because of spoilers, but know that this book has deeper themes so proceed with caution.
Finished this on audio. It is meh. The writing is fine, the narration was good. But the story itself was disjointed and just kind of boring with no real resolution. The main character is dealing with chronic illness and childhood trauma. But the way it is presented and dealt with was a miss for me. As you know I hate critiquing an author because they have put their heart out there and I couldn’t do the same. However, I wanted more from this.
