4.5

This book was the definition of bittersweet. The story begins at the end, at the couple’s breakup, and it slowly starts rewinding back to when they first met. When I first started Out of Love, I hated Theo, I couldn’t see how the main character (who is unnamed throughout the entire book) could ever fall in love with him, but once I finished the book I understood, and I was heartbroken about how they both ended up. This book does not only go over this romance, but also the main character’s struggle with her mental health. Many quotes were so beautiful and raw that they will always stay with me, and the portrayal of toxic parental figures and how that translates into how you live your life was truly heart-wrenching. I recommend this book not only because of its unique plot and structure, but also because of its naked, honest representation of unhealthy relationships, romantic and familial, and the effects they might have on how we think of ourselves and others.
