I absolutely loved the writing style of this books but the story line just wasn't for me. While it was an interesting idea and I liked the realistic approach, the relationships and people described are purely toxic and abusive. Their actions seem to repeat themselves over and over without them being able to express their feelings at all which is incredibly frustrating to read. The ending also didn't give the satisfaction I was hoping for.
