The rave reviews for this make me feel like I’m going crazy. This is Sad Girl Gavin & Stacey down to every single character being a parody of themselves

when I finished this book, I felt simlarly to the way I felt when i finished normal people. This book made me think about relationships so differently and i really felt like i learned something about human behavior at the end of it. i could not set the book down was so drawn in by the story and felt every emotion. Immediately I wanted to read it again. I really want to give this book 5 stars and do think I will eventually read this book again, which I only do with 5 star reads. The prose was beautiful and the settings were incredible, I felt like I was in New York, France, and Italy. I cried twice in this book, and I haven't cried at a book since My Dark Vanessa last year. The ONLY THING that has brought my rating down from a 5 is I just felt there's too many loose ends at the end. Normally, I'm fine with ambiguous endings, but too many of the characters here just felt...unfinished at the end (Zoe, Quentin, etc). I may eventually get over this feeling but I typically only like to give 5 stars to books that I feel are absolutely perfect.
