Hooboy, this is good and also really hard to get through at times. I think if you've had friends (or been the person) who keeps making excuses and forgiving someone for character flaws that maybe seem innocuous at the time, it makes it difficult to read this. Many people who have not been in the situation would not understand and might consider the character annoying or even stupid, when in fact it's such a common occurrence that this is a very realistic interpretation of a relationship of that caliber.

Even aside from that, there are some great side characters, awesome backstory, a cool setting (IKEA!), lots of queer representation, and realistic depictions of things like PTSD, depression, maybe even OCD (though these are speculations on my part, as it's not actually stated).

This book gets VERY intense the last 75%ish and kind of turns from a romance to a thriller and reminds me a lot of The Loneliest Girl in the Universe. I think that that book did a better job of it--this one feels like it drags on a little too much in the middle and might have benefited from being a little shorter. But it was still pretty damn good.
