I thought the main character was pretty insufferable and was not captivated by the writing style at all. The time skips were a bit jarring. HOWEVER, the story really picked up about 70% through and I was glad I didn't DNF it earlier. I stayed up past my bedtime to finish this last night! An unsatisfactory but realistic ending, I suppose. I don't think that the author dove into the trauma olympics that Bodie was doing on Twitter, nor fully examined Jerome in a critical light like I would have wished. It was giving too much "people think anything is abuse these days!" for my comfort. There were some strange discussions about the age of consent and power dynamics in age gap relationships. And in the end, I do think it felt like a white savior story.
