You create a small world for yourselves, and for you both only, sitting on this sofa, looking out at a world which has a tendency to engulf even the most alive.

I wanted to love this I really did and while the writing is beautiful and I loved the parts that talked about mental health, I just could not get myself to care about the characters at all.
