The narrative is fairly repetitive (each chapter either starts with ‘the man I want to be with’ or ‘the woman I am obsessed with’). I was initially invested in the narrator’s obsession with the woman, but it went nowhere. It was also not explained why the narrator was so obsessed with ‘the man I want to be with’. The timeline jumped around a bit, for no real reason. Overall I didn’t really enjoy it, but there was a fair amount of prose-y bits, which I think I would have enjoyed more if the character development was there.
