This was a read that I found very self indulgent. I don’t think it will be for every reader, as I think a lot of what I loved about it was its resonance with my own experiences. However, it hit all the right notes for me, and was fast paced and felt like a light, cathartic read despite some heavier subject matter. The age gap could be upsetting to some but I didn’t find it particularly dwelled on or sexualized myself.
