Wow. okay. first opening line.
"If you need this book, it is for you"
And Jesus did I need this book. I often have trouble putting words to feelings I have and to find those words my first step is finding media that pertains to whatever it is I'm going through.
Needless to say, given that this was 5 stars for me, those words were found and they broke my ribs and they festered there and then they made me feel better about everything.
I don't know that I've ever gotten through a book like this. Like I was devouring it. I think I often struggle with waiting until the ending of a book but in this case, I wanted to live in there forever.

I think part of that could be just how fully seen I felt and how fresh my feelings are but I also think that this is objectively incredibly well written.

READ THIS.
if you've been in an abusive relationship (especially a queer one. Oh my god.)
If you've ever read Little Weirds by Jenny Slate- this is like her battered (lol) older sister and she's here to kill you.
If you're only ever gonna read one book for the rest of your life. Let it be this one
