I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. Tokarczuk's character work and pacing is impeccable. The main character is one of the most unique ones I've ever encountered.

One of the oddest reading experiences I've ever had. I feel as though I didn't understand 90% of this book, and yet it kept me interested throughout. At the same time, I can't honestly say I liked it, because I didn't enjoy the broken up and unfinished sentences. Seriously, nobody finished a sentence or thought in this book, which was confusing af.

My first one from this author. I appreciated the sex-positivity, but didn't love how sex-focused the whole thing was. 

When reading romance, I want to feel the connection and see the solid foundation of the couple. I felt like McQuiston didn't give me enough on that account and instead relied too much on the MCs having known each other since they were children, and supplying a few snippets from their childhood. 

As an adult couple, it seemed like all they thought about and all they had was sex and lust. Even

their reunion at the end, which would have been quite beautiful, was ruined by Kit immediately wanting to fuck.

It was also around 100 pages too long, and I didn't feel as though their initial issue had been properly resolved at the end. They were still the same people as when they broke up, especially in terms of

Theo's impulsivity and rashness.

Overall, I feel let down.

This is my second book from this author. It's not the greatest literature, but it's an entertaining slump-breaker. I'd definitely pick up another one from Lapena when I don't have enough spoons for something more complex. She knows how to write a gripping story, although her writing is really simple.

Not in the right mindset for it, might pick it up later.
