Not for me.  I don’t understand why it reached so many people’s top five list. 

It’s women acting sexual in the way a man wishes they would.  It’s about a boy becoming obsessed with the idea of being with a mentally ill girl.  It’s giving boy with no personality expecting a neurodivergent girl to make him feel alive.
