Out of Love started out SO STRONG, but ultimately fizzled out as the story went on. I liked that the book started with the breakup between our unnamed narrator and her (ex) boyfriend, Theo. She told their story backwards, ending at the moment they met.
I've been in my feelings lately, so a lot of passages in the first half really resonated with me and I felt so drawn to the book. I loved our narrator; she is so witty and some parts had me actually laughing out loud. I felt her pain, her anger, and have been in similar situations.
The story kind of got boring towards the end, and there were some filler chapters that really didn't have much to do with anything. If I were rating this on just the first half - easy 5 stars. But in its entirety, it just didn't completely work for me.
