i didn’t like these characters but i liked the writing and was engrossed (as usual) and i would not mind a man being as desperately obsessed with me as eli is with rue. this book is the only thing that kept me from obsessively checking the polls this election day which makes me very grateful i saved it, even though i didn’t love it the way i usually love a new ali hazelwood. also, delightful to see how unique these characters are compared to a typical AH couple.
