1.0

dips its toes in heavy topics without any depth of exploration. ultimately shallow, self-insert trash that seems to glamorize depression and MPDG trope without saying anything. dialogue between characters is cringe and unrealistic. the comparisons to sally rooney bewilder me honestly. the cover and title are the best things about the book. the one star is for eleanor's first chapter.
