I loved this!! The concept was everything. I also felt that the author’s depiction of toxic relationships and domestic violence was raw and honest without romanticizing these aspects of the book. Some of the word choices were a bit awkward/used a lot which slightly pulled the book’s emotional punch for me. But all in all, really interesting read that I’d recommend.
