It was too short for me. About half way through the book I wanted it to be longer and then towards the end I wish the entire book was different.
the final speech and the epilogue made me legitimately angry. The whole wedding and everything after that was so shitty. Pyotr was rough and then seemingly nice and oh so cute and quirky! And then he is a psychotic aggressive assaulter! Then her bullshit speech about how bad men have it. It’s true that men’s mental health is over looked and that it is important for men to speak about what is bothering them but that doesn’t excuse the fact that he assaulted a man, harassed his mother, broke into their home, and  verbally assaulted  his wife and sister-in-law! Not okay!
