"For the first time all day I felt safe. Except that Patch had cornered me in a dark tunnel and was possibly stalking me. Maybe not so safe."

I knew I was going to hate this so I honestly can't tell you why I finished it but I did and now I have to try and formulate coherent thoughts on it. Long story short, Patch is a grossly controlling and toxic, Nora is boring and naive and this book is, to put it nicely, badly written and extremely fatphobic.
