ugly cried at least three separate times. this was a heartbreaking but deeply relatable story. it never pulls it's punches, despite the sometimes sloppy execution and pacing. the dynamics felt real and though a lot felt unresolved by the end, that in itself felt authentic to real life. im definitely glad i bought it and would probably recommend this to others, though with a lot of trigger warnings. 

though i hated connor immediately though. fuck evanston
