I liked a lot about the protagonist and the erratic voice of her narration (I know that this is apparently a polarizing aspect of the book, but it really worked for me!). I preferred the early chapters where she is dealing with her isolation and loneliness, something that I feel like isn't addressed in a satisfying way later in the book - she just sort of feels better because she's got Adam. On the other hand, he is the first person to be able to touch her, and this is the first in a series, so maybe something will happen later to make her realize that being in love doesn't magically fix trauma.
I know from the TikTok stans how this love triangle is going to play out, and I'm very curious to see how Mafi is going to play it.

I was able to read it very fast, there were often a few repetitions.
I really wanted to know why so many people love Aaron Warner that much, until now i honestly can’t really understand it. Just sometimes slightly.
