Very relatable. 20-something year old with bad taste in relationships and always seems to make the wrong decisions. Julian is boring and puts himself first, Ava doesn’t want to leave him bc he validates the beliefs she has about herself. She runs from all the people who want to get close to her. The ending might mean that she’s choosing to stay with Edith or she is having one final goodbye. Very sally Rooney vibes.
