Read it without knowing much about the plot. Had a vague idea from the cover and marketing that it would be some kind of romcom. Turned out not to be that, which made it hard to read at times. Incredibly well written and still worth the read, but note that it's more of a tragicomedy and check the trigger warnings list.
