i'm a fan .... of this book even though it took me nearly a year to finish it!  really i read the first half right after i got it last spring and then kinda forgot i hadn't finished it.  oh well.  very messy, very funny, short chapters ... it's great!  features the best chapter titles i've ever seen, too.

insightful but repetitive.
classism and race discussion were the highlights for me. 
big TWs for infidelity & domestic abuse (physical, emotional, verbal) from the abuser's POV.
while reading about the fucked up relationships the narrator has, i recognized bpd patterns/ tendencies.
overall, i thought i would enjoy it more than i have. too often it felt like a chore to read through.

This was a story I was inspired to read after listening to Cariad Lloyd and Sara Pascoe’s podcast ‘Weirdos Book Club’ episode featuring one of my favourite comedians Nish Kumar ✨
I really did not regret it AT ALL.

All I can say is that the main character is thoroughly unhinged 😂 Throughout the story I kept laughing because I didn’t know what else to do! She and the man she wants to be with need some serious help, but they are the type of people who will never seek that. I loved getting to meet everyone and get a glimpse into their lives (and their madness) 🙃
I felt awful for the boyfriend to be fair.

I do wish it had a better ending.

You can’t be completely and utterly obsessed with someone and not have it ruin your life or have some major event 🤷🏻‍♀️ I wanted a bit more from it for sure at the end!

Loved the way it leant into classism, Instagram life, race politics and so on. 4 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨
