This was insanity start to finish. There is no plot, no character development, and the writing kind of made me question whether I had died and was in the pits of hell. It was a bit fun, it was silly, I giggled and kicked my feet a tad. But overall I think the violence was very unnecessary, because it was only there to spur on the plot. BUT THERE IS NO PLOT. So why do I need to be reading a 2 page long description about Sloane's questionable use of a scalpel? Trick question, I DON’T. This book just kind of left me thinking “but what was it all for??”. I think I set myself up for failure from the jump with this one, I was pretty aware it just wasn’t my kind of story, but here we are I read it anyway. This was certainly something I won’t ever …

AWWWW. THIS WAS ADORABLE. AND HILARIOUS. AND SIMPLY AMAZING IN EVERY WAY. The banter, plot, writing, characters, and the dialogue were all written amazingly. Humor in this book is also handled so well, and I was cackling and smiling at every other sentence, and I know a book is good when it makes me look like crazy person in public:) The old gay British ladies, brought warmth into the iceberg that is often my heart, and just the pure love that Eve and Jacob share is beautiful in a way that’s somehow simultaneously wonderfully down to earth, and also straight out of a fairytale. Possibly the best part of this story though, was the way being neurodivergent was represented and written! The different representations of autism and ADHD were amazing, and I think I relate to Jacob a little too much…Top-tier book, this was incredible!
This book had me looking longingly at my bookshelf, daydreaming about reading literally anything else. I honestly just don’t think the writing style was for me. There was no plot, no likable characters, and the whole book just felt like a fever dream. I feel like the author was trying to say something about feminisim and art, but it didn’t hit for me at all.
The slight bit of boredom I felt while reading about the work/office sub-plot took this a tiny bit down from 5 stars. THIS BOOK WAS STILL INCREDIBLE THO. Both main characters were actually incredibly likable, which was kind of like a breath of fresh air after all the morally grey characters I’ve read as of late. Iwan and Lemons love story is SO TENDER AND SWEET, I CANNOT. I strive to have a love story like that, this was such a silly little treat.
This was very interesting…the book touches on things like the art world, mental health, rich people, and even the simple act of lying, and brings in such beautifully written and very interesting ideas about all of those things. The writing was so good, I was literally thinking and talking in the style it’s written in for a while. But the characters were insufferable, and I got kind of bored in the middle, so I think 3.5 stars is a good rating.
