This genuinely made me uncomfortable. If you're wondering if you NEED to read it and aren't someone who has to consume every side story that isn't essential, don't read it. You really don't need to. It's just uncomfortable.

I think the writing style and perspective works really well for this kind of story. I was thoroughly icked out the whole time. Joe is a disturbed human being.

I said to myself about 50% of the way through this, “I should dnf this book, but I'm dumb.” There's nothing bad about this book, I was just wildly bored and uninterested in the neverending soulmate talk.

This book was extremely thorough and well researched. I appreciated the breadth of topics covered and felt uplifted that I had a split basis in everything covered. I wanted to read this partially for book club and partially for grad school.

I didn't hate it, but I feel like I need to go to the dentist now from the over-the-top sweetness. And the last few chapters irritated me immensely.

Malerman mastered the atmosphere here and really had me nervous at times. I sort of wish there had been more of a conclusion, but I also believe that would've made this book lose rereadability for me. As it stands, I think I could reread it and still feel unnerved.
