a harrowing book that chronicles a queer abusive relationship with each chapter built around a prompt/trope that lands just personal enough to make you feel as though you are reading her diary. the unique structure through which the story is told is reason to read it alone. the only reason it wasn’t quite 5 stars for me is because i felt a few chapters didn’t add anything to the book.
Graphic: Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, Sexual content, and Toxic relationship
Minor: Homophobia and Infidelity
