The reviews for this book among my friends were all over the place, so I didn’t know what to expect. But I really liked this one. I would teach this book if I were a college professor. I love contemplating existentialism and ethics in conjunction with each other and some of the biggest what ifs of our lives.

Okay I absolutely ADORED this book 🥹 It was long, so I put it down for an extended amount of time, but once I picked it up again I could not put it down.

Lily/Nick/Mei’s narratives all being part of the book really satisfied me, because I kept getting upset at not being able to understand what had fully gone on. Lily’s refusal to address what happened between her and Matt was increasingly frustrating 😫
Although if your parents had utilised you two as experiments, without you knowing, that would be reasonable cause for never speaking to someone again 🫠

It had me screaming and crying. 4.5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨ Content warnings below!
