where do i even begin?
this book was so fucked up, but so good & entirely not like i expected it to be
the characters are so complex it is hard to wrap my brain around everything they're going through & choosing & experiencing

[3.5 stars rounded up] i love the thought that went into the design of this book as a physical item: all the fun ephemera, and the progressively darkening pages to reflect the descent of jack and august as they keep on spiraling... mwah. chef's kiss.

oh these motherfuckers are INSANE! like so mentally ill. annoying and cringe at times but i also loved it. probably going to be incoherent here. this book had a lot of extra fluff with unnecessary extra characters, poor pacing, lots of over the top aspects that overshadow the good stuff, and did a poor job of setting up/following through with expectations. BUT the good stuff was GOOD! like hear me out!!! the final act sealed the deal for me. these two make me crazy; this book made me feel like i was going crazy. read if you love toxicity and codependency and insane people in love (like me)
ah yes just boys being boys. specifically yearning cluelessly for your best friend so hard that you commit arson to try to stop their hallucinations. it’s a universal experience really
