I really wanted to love this book, but it just wasn’t what I was expecting. The idea of an obsessive situationship was really original and I enjoyed the dynamic between the protagonist, the man I want to be with, and the women I am obsessed with. Unfortunately I found the writing style and language quite difficult to engage with. The narrative seemed to swap between the character’s and the author’s voices, particularly during the social commentaries. These mini essays were very thoughtful but I felt they were often disconnected from the rest of the narrative. Overall, a mixed review but a miss for me.
