LOVE LOVE LOVED IT! Edie, the protagonist, is aggravatingly human which means that she’s flawed and continues to make decisions influenced by those flaws. It’s painful to watch her fall into the same mistakes over and over again because it’s literally an experience we all have and may, unfortunately, continue to go through. Left a massive impact on my emotions even after I closed it.
