yes my unpopular but comments are about to come:Įven though I liked this unique concept, there are some problematic things bothered me to enjoy the full ride. I enjoyed her sense of humor, smart comments, her naturalness and I highly recommend you to check them out.Īnd I have to admit this book is such a great start with this interesting concept which made me push request button harder after reading the blurb. I didn’t watch YouTube videos of the author till I read the book but I realized she’s doing quiet brilliant job.
Wow! What a creative way of reviewing the anatomy of broken/ toxic relationship by moving backwards: witnessing the breakup and going back with time jumps to learn why things didn’t work out: it made me feel like reading dramatic/ romantic version of Memento! The movie also starts with its ending and you move backwards step by step to find out what was the real reason behind things got out of control! *This book was sent to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review* I don't mind swearing, but just know that in case it bothers you TW: mentions of suicide, emotional and sexual abuse, and drug abuse/alcoholism, griefīe warned, this book uses many swear words, especially the C- and F-bombs. I wouldn't directly compare it to any of them, but I felt like the vibe was all of them mixed together I'd recommend this book is you enjoyed Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, The Other Half of Augusta Hope and The Flatshare. And more than this story being a love story told in reverse, it's also a story of family, loss, self-discovery, and friendship (we all deserve a Maya in our lives) I could feel the pain she felt towards moving away from Ireland and her family. Something I couldn't relate to but loved, and felt viscerally, was the protagonist's love of her home country and Irish culture. This book has important discussions on mental health and therapy, as our protagonist suffers from depression and anxiety We get to know her and her priorities alongside understanding why her relationship with Theo ended. This book is completely driven by the protagonist. We're seeing the deterioration of a relationship, two people losing each other and falling out of love, and it actually made me feel pretty emotional at times Because of that, it was pretty heavy emotionally. I wanted to keep reading to find out what led to this inevitable break up and where their issues originated from. The book then goes in reverse, recounting events until we get to the end of the book and the day she meets Theoīecause this love story starts at the end, at the breakdown of a relationship, the pacing and drive of the story is unlike anything I've read before. We follow our unnamed female protagonist as she is parting from her long-term, live-in boyfriend. I loved this book, but it also hurt me and broke my heart which is incredibly rude.
