This book in the print form contains a lot of crossed out lines (like this) and it's part of the voice of the story which works. However, the audiobook narrates these lines by having the narrator say 'scratch that' after every single one. And it got very distracting and annoying very quickly. Granted, I have no idea how else to reflect crossed out text in an audiobook format, but I couldn't keep listening. I'll borrow this book in print instead.
Miserable lesbian couple slowly breaking up because Sean, the main character, is emotionally immature, unavailable, cold, and selfish. Have I mentioned how much I hate reading stories about miserable adults being miserable to each other?
Add to that Sean's casual racism, lack of empathy, and massive refusal to give a single shit about anything but what she wants?
I hate books with miserable queer protagonists and I don't think it's progress to be all "Oh look how far we've come, queers can be miserable like everyone else". If that's something you need to find queer people relatable, you're beyond missing the point.

Hated the characters. Vi is horrible, but also everyone is horrible to her as well, so I get why she hates everyone. Her 'friends' are jerks and her best friend defends the random ADULT man who is being inappropriate and creepy to her.
