This Is My Brain in Love by I.W. Gregorio

5.0

 Technically, was this all that good? Maybe not. Will’s mom’s character arc was very sudden. The miscommunication was strong. The priya scandal was ridiculous. But emotionally? This book was incredible. It starts off as a cute, leg-kicking romance. Then, about a quarter of the way in, it takes a sharp turn as jocelyn becomes depressed. It becomes really hard to read as they both spiral & hurt themselves & each other (not physically though). As hard it was, it was also painstakingly realistic - I could see so many of my friendships & relationships portrayed in these characters & could pinpoint conversations or interactions that I swear I’ve had word for word. Ultimately though, the authors warning at the beginning isn’t lying. It’s heart wrenching & sob-worthy but in the last 25 pages, it becomes a happy ending. Everyone should read this, Just be prepared to be in a bad mood for the middle stretch. Also, the chapter titles make more & more sense as you go on (or maybe I’m just done)
