this story probably won’t work for people who can’t stand a “no plot just vibes” situation but i was loving it!! even if it is SLIGHTLY pretentious, i would rather a book tries too hard than doesn’t try at all. also i loved all the math stuff despite hating math most of my life. it feels like the phenomenon where someone u care about is obsessed with something super boring but it makes them happy so u love hearing them talk about it. i will definitely reread this when i get the chance because i don’t think i was in the mindset to enjoy it to the fullest this time

I think what makes or breaks this book for *many* is the writing style. For me it absolutely BROKE it lol.
It's very experimental but it just does not work for me.
The prose is sooo overbearing it's a constant barrage of fancy words, which at worst distances me from the character, at best makes me cringe😭
And I usually like flowery writing, but only if it means something.
It just feels like 200 pages of stream of consciousness.
I know that this could be attributed to Regan being manic later on, but that doesn't make it better.
At least reading it was easy and I could have finished it in one day if I had had the nerve.
I didn't care for the characters and their romance and I *felt* the moments that could have been pivotal (the curch hand touch scene) but they made me feel nothing unfortunately.
It's just pretentious, not in a good way.
And it's not that deep.
