DAVID NICHOLLS OWES ME THERAPY

so glad i read this despite having already watched the movie and tv show. there's so much more, not just in terms of scenes but character work too: you're in dexter and emma's head, stitched in the very fabric of their lives and how they weave together. their relationship is raw and messy and tender and real and so so heartbreaking. would i read it again despite it giving me the feeling of my heart being put in a blender? absolutely.
