This book was fine, but good lord could it have been 100 pages shorter. Got reaaaaaal boring towards the end NGL.
As someone who's trying to figure out how to get a late autism diagnosis, a lot of this book hit really hard ahaha. Sobbed through the first chapter cause I felt so seen :")
Bruh I'm literally sobbing this book was everything I thought it would be and I fucking loved every second it's so melancholic all the way through I'm gonna cry for a month
This book was very good in places, but also v infuriating in others. I think I just can't handle drama/lack of communication in adult romances NGL. But ???? Seb and Sara are genuinely fantastic characters who are so fleshed out and wonderfully complex, and it was an absolute joy getting to know them NGL
Am not gonna lie. I don't get how people r a v e about this book? And call it a feminist masterpiece??? Like, I can sorta get the comparisons to American Psycho but at least AP was critiquing something, this book just felt like it didn't have a purpose other than girlboss gaslight gatekeep and I don't get it???
Also, sure, have a psycho main character but at least TRY and make them a wee bit engaging and not just a raging rude bitch
ALSO ???? bruh this book just screamed of someone being like "hey I want this word to be something better lemme just grab my thesaurus" and I h a t e that. Use big words sure, but when your sentences are filled with like 4 or 5 instances of that happening stop. Just stop. Put the thesaurus down and use words humans know.
Genuinely still don't understand how this book is feminist other than like yay main milf character kills and eats men??? and like ??? That's not feminism?? Right ??????
Also - last point I promise, how was a book about a cannibal food critic this dull??? Like that's already such a darkly comic theme ?? Please I just don't get how many 5* reviews this book gets p L e a s e

Am not gonna lie, I'm not fully sure who this book is aimed at. It reads mostly like YA? But that could be because it feels like this was written overnight by a teenager. Had some fun ideas, but executed poorly, and good lord that man is a terrible therapist
Content Warnings
Moderate: Emotional abuse, Gun violence, Mental illness, Toxic relationship, Mass/school shootings
This was GREAT a lovely lil low stakes romance, the characters were ace, 10/10
Some things is this book are fuckin triggering so like go into carefully. Also some of the spicier scenes had the FUNNIEST lines oh my god.
Do I think this was a good book? Honestly probably no
Did I ENJOY this book? Thoroughly yes. Memphis is the love of my life

This was fine, science fun innit. I do kinda wish there was a sad ?? Ending ?? Though, like yay saved the sun but oh no I'm trapped in space to die?? But maybe I'm I just really like sad books and I fully really this book is much more light-hearted and it would be a jarring ending
