this book was not for me ✋🏽 don’t get the hype, it was kinda boring with bits that were just depressing af. not a fan of the writing style. and though a lot did happen, also nothing happened?? i feel like they are the same people they were in the beginning of the book. no development and tbh they’re both kinda boring people (which i guess could be nice in a way because they are truly “normal people”? lmao). also most of the conversations didn’t feel like they flowed like real conversations, which i was not a fan of.
i will say that despite this, there were two quotes i did really love. however, that’s probably the only positive thing i have to say about the book haha.
“Marianne, I’m not a religious person but I do sometimes think God made you for me.”
“Life offers you these moments of joy despite everything.”
