reading Cleo’s POV as a twenty-something with a habit of dating older people felt like walking barefoot on Legos—uncomfortably relatable and occasionally unbearable. Their relationship teeters between captivating and cringe-worthy, with the power imbalances hitting way too close to home. Please don’t get me started on the constant POV shifts. it’s like the book couldn’t decide who it wanted me to emotionally spiral with. While the chaos was intentional, it sometimes made staying invested feel like a chore. Great writing, but I could’ve used a breather (and maybe therapy) in between chapters

Personally resonated with me for mental health.

was glad for the happy ending but wish it was more fleshed out. felt rushed. good character development but that also seemed rushed / sudden. maybe it’s just how life goes. it is sudden until it is not.

The most redeeming characters have the least time to develop and reflect. Everyone in this book needs help.
