I finished this on the plane home today, and it did in fact make me Cry In Public™️ (which I must admit, is an average experience for me). But, this hit home for me! A book about toxic love, insecurity, and depression. Also, why are all the books I've read by Irish writers so sad? Are y'all ok?
@_KZR_ imo it’s not *as* good but it was like an enjoyable read? The POV/time switches kind of take away from fleshing out any specific character which was so much of what made Acts of Desperation special
I bought this book months ago, tried to read it and gave up because for whatever reason, it seemed boring. Tried again yesterday and wasn’t able to put it down. It was perfectly paced and gut-wrenchingly intelligent and made me want to curl up on my couch and read it all over again.
Total masterpiece. Nolan put words together in a way I’ve never ever seen before. Please please please read this book.
Unembellishedly vulnerable depiction of the author's depression. honest in an extremely rare way, and feels a bit like someone tearing into your soul if you're depressed
