I was watching a reality tv breakdown the other day (by tell the bees) that was taking about how the anxiously attached have won the internet and I feel like this book is in some small way a part of this. I do love a growth story and a love that doesn’t work out it’s very indicative of life and something we can all learn from. At the same time I also can’t help thinking about this idea that “he lost the best thing he ever had” is equal parts a complete farce and unlikely given their complete lack of ability to communicate with each other.
