i’d give this 0 stars if i could. i’m so frustrated . i actually can’t believe i fell for the hype.

i’ll say. i love justin. the anxiety rep is repping, it felt like the inside of my head without succumbing to the horridness of it. the discussion of coping mechanisms actually helps a lot, and it weirdly helped me sort through a lot of my own emotions and symptoms.

but fuck me. bri is a perfect reminder as to why you don’t date until you go through therapy from your last relationship. trauma is written well. sure. but my god. bri is actually insufferable. these people are in their thirtys. i think i need to resign myself to the fact that the miscommunication trope will just make me see red. bc the actual idiocy presented in this book genuinely made my brain matter decay. like if these man are doctors, no fucking wonder all their patients are dying. 

like i can’t explain how STUPID the conflict is and how ANGRY it actually made me. any sort of romance that happened after actually made me angry. because it is so undeserved.


I CANT SCREAM ABOUT THIS ENOUGH. THESE PEOPLE ARE 30 !! 30 !!! IN THEIR FUCKING THIRTYS!!!!!! and they’re rejecting each other over idiotic assumptions ??????? 

sorry i’m actually so frustrated bc this book had so much potential. i get it, she’s traumatised. but my god. i think the trauma feels too real and it’s why the stupidity just felt just as FUCKING STUPID. 

again i can’t believe i wasted my time on this book. i’m so ANNOYEF.

THEY HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL.


please . i beg. go to therapy. everyone. 

IM SO DISTRESSED my BRAIN FEELS BROKEN.
