What a weird story.
I had an idea of what I was getting into before I started the book, but I did not expect that to be this eccentrically weird. Usually, in relationships, we see one toxic partner and one normal partner, OR if they are both toxic, the toxicity would not be on the same level. Still, my god, the toxicity of these characters was out of this world. However, this was a very short, interesting read. Written in the formats of e-mails or text messages, it was really easy to get through, and the book itself is a very short one. Nothing was complex in the language used, but the story kept getting worse (in a good way!)
The ending was predicted initially, but you only realize the answer to "how" around 80% into the book.
