I am between a strong 3.5 or a 4✨
I get the hype. I really get why this book is so loved. I think this is one of the first times that I have read a book that I really struggled with liking the main character. Nora infuriated me. But at the same time, I don’t need to love the main character to love the book. Nora had her flaws but the issues and struggles that she was dealing with all came out, it was comforting. AND I LOVE THAT THERE WAS NOT A THIRD ACT BREAKUP! I think this book shows an accurate representation of growth and what it is like to react to grief and to react to change.
