What I remember about this book, writing a review months after reading it:

1. The main character’s relationship with her sister reminded me a lot of the sibling relationship in Fleabag, which I loved.
2. The portrayal of mental illness felt in many ways very accurate and relatable.
3. This quote made me cry and cry:
   • I have been loved every day of my adult life. I’ve been unbearable but I’ve never been unloved. I have felt alone but I’ve never been alone and I’ve been forgiven for the unforgivable things I have done.
4. Upon finishing, I knew immediately that it was a 5-star reading experience and that I’d be revisiting this one in the future.
