I’m so confused by this book istg. First of all, look for the TW since there’s quite a lot here. Really liked the relationship between the two characters, but not in a “omg I wanna be them” more like “omg why the f-ck are they still together? i love this” kinda way. A good book and a solid take on mental health (or lack thereof). Don’t read it if you’re expecting massive plot twists and a romance filled story. Also, don’t read it if you hate the “poor communication trope”.
It’s refreshing to see a book like this since you can actually relate to the characters and it feels as if you’re reading someone’s diary (i’m a big chismosa so y’all can easily point why I liked this book lmao)
