Stay with Me
by Nicole Fiorina
mmm still trying to process this book
i did not know a damn thing about this book, i bought it because my manager at barnes said they had to put trigger warnings on the website for it so naturally i had to read it.
i liked it i think… didn’t hate it. i will say i enjoy books with mentally ill people, as a mentally ill person, if it’s not cliché
there were aspects of this book that were cliché and a little cringey. but also very dark topics that just kind of gave me a pit in my stomach. ollie was cringe, i will say that, that tattooed poet who feels everything. cmon AND he likes the notebook? i’ll pass.. mia was a great character in my opinion, there were moments in her breakthroughs that made me feel like they were just there for plot enhancement and not character enhancement. BUT her growth as a character was compelling to see (however her backstory just seemed too.. mm como se dice.. intense? i don’t know what i’m trying to convey.. ingenuine?) and all the parties they would throw in ollie’s dorm sounded like a 40 year old writing about crazy college kids and at times i just “is this really what you think a bunch of estranged-mentally-ill-delinquent young adults do?”
also i’m tired of straight smut, it just makes me uncomfortable now…
that’s all. it was aight. don’t know if i’ll pick up the next book.
