this was incredibly heartfelt and loving. i finished it 3am last night feeling so warm.

i do wish the catfishing scenario had been dealt with differently. felix doesn’t really face any real consequences for what he does, yet a situation like this can be utterly traumatising. i am absolutely terrified of him finding any public account i have, to the point i only give my real name or number to someone i met online after knowing them for years, and even so there’s always that lingering doubt of “what if it’s him? what if he’s managed to fool me again?”. and my situation wasn’t even romantic, which adds another layer of broken trust to it.

also, i could do without the love triangle. i knew what to expect going into the book, but it was too messy for my tastes.
