challenging
dark

bro the twists and turns in this book…
pacing was much better than book 1 and the general mood was a lot less depressing too, because (a) quentin is finally starting to become more self aware and grow as a character / person and (b) the changes between quentin and julia's POVs let us learn about Julia's backstory which is QUITE INSANE. i can appreciate how deeply flawed each character is.
therape scene… super disturbing and unexpected dhdhdhshsh
i think i am gonna take a break from this series even though I'm just left with book 3 and read some non-fiction instead lol
