I just don’t care for sex scenes. And then men were trash (I know it’s on purpose but still). She had to deal with all these micro aggressions. But talking about death & grief had me crying, which shows a good emotional tug. I wondered if the main character was coded as autistic also.

This started slow for me but I liked where it went. Maddie is complicated and lovable and relatable at times and just all around a character you truly feel you’re in her head. 4.5 stars rounded up.
