This book moved me and left me with a bittersweet taste. It provides a profound description of the reality and everyday life of relationships and cohabitation. The needs and inner monologues of the individual characters lend depth to the story. While reading, it felt as if I were holding my breath the entire time and was part of the conversation.

"I have a bad habit of going along with things that aren't right for me, and I'm just trying to do the things a person would do if they loved themselves as much as they loved other people." I enjoyed reading this book a lot, even though the characters were difficult, unique and sometimes seemed hard to love. I cried a lot... but it was worth it.

Nicola Dinan‘s debut novel is quite touching an holds so much power!! The characters are complex and flawed and shit people at times, which makes the story so heartfelt and realistic! I‘m very excited to read Dinan‘s next book „Dissappoint Me“.
