this was just okay. i did like the anxiety representation - i can always relate to the catastrophizing part of anxiety, and it makes me feel like i am not alone in that thought process. i thought the book overall and the plot was vvvvvery slow-paced, and it felt like sometimes absolutely nothing was happening. i also just didn't feel like the mcs had much chemistry - yes there was mutual pining, but i just didn't see really see it. TW: SELF HARM - i also related to everly's form of self harm she does in the book, as i have unconsciously done it myself to almost ground myself and get out of that anxiety-riddled thought process.
