this wasn’t ground breakingly beautiful. it was pretentious and so mind numbing i can’t do it anymore!!! i don’t like the characters, and whilst that’s probably the point, i have been given no reason to root for them despite this. their obsessive and codependent relationship is not romantic, it’s unhealthy and i don’t think either of them even really like each other. i can’t do it anymore and pretend like this is a good book. i feel like me and the 5 star reviewers read something completely different.
