I don't remember when I finished this but oh god. I loved the characters and enjoyed watching them spend time together over the years but Jesus christ... I feel like absolutely nothing happened in the story. I get that might be where it was supposed to go with it being a book on the lines of, ig, being about “normal people” meaning they're not insane woosh woosh super cool epic main characters but atleast give us SOMETHING.

I will admit that I spent the entire book just praying they just end the book together and happy, obviously this never happened. This was probably my only drive to finish this book, even then it took me forever because I felt like I was tracking through a foggy, muddy mosh pit in dogs-out sandals to get to find out the meal deal I was trying to get after has been upped from £3 to fucking £4 pound. (That was psychotic btw supermarkets in the UK)

This may have been during a time of me reading what was popular and not what I might enjoy, not knowing my reading “style”. I hope that's what it's called.
So I definitely am NOT the demographic.
ggs literature grads, hope you all enjoy this lovely book <3
