The pacing felt really weird, and at times the writing felt a bit like fan fiction. The advertising, cover art, and quotes for the book make it seem like a fun and sexy read, but you spend most of the book reading about the MCs decent into a horribly abusive relationship. It didn't even feel like we learnt any important lessons (all of the red flags were glaring and obvious to the point that it's kind of ridiculous), which just made me feel like I was voyeuristicly watching a woman's life turn into a trainwreck. Also, while there is sex scenes, they are mostly not fun and at times verge on assault-y. It is a quick and easy read though.

The main character and her friends are loveable and you quickly get attached. The love story is infuriating, toxic, and extremely dangerous. It’s an important (and easy) read for those anyone in the queer community or just curious. Abuse in queer relationships are not well documented or spoken about so this is an important conversation to have.
This book highlights the dangers of it well, ensuring the the characters remain human and doesn’t fall into “preachy”.
It’s rather graphic at parts and I don’t believe it was necessary for the narrative.

I wasn't expecting to love this as much as I did. Funny and emotional and also dark. Weirdly mirrors a lot of how I've felt throughout my life. The author puts it into words beautifully, and it's still an easy and quick read. Binged in one sitting.

This story resonated a lot with me, but despite the subject matter hitting some very dark places, the author's tone was engaging and funny. Loved this and will definitely look forward to more of her work!
