This was my favorite book of 2021 and I truly never think I’ll forget about it. This book touched me in a way that was at times deeply uncomfortable but god was it good. Paul and Julian have a dynamic that I so often crave in fiction but I’ve never read one so well written. Read this if you enjoy codependent, mutually destructive partners and/or chess.
