About this deal

I would have enjoyed it if Blake continued this style more through the book as I missed it, but once the characters are established it instead turns more inward as they attempt to have more of a harness on their own narratives. is this a metaphor for something or a truly disturbing intrusive thought of someone who IS NOT WELL!

Interactions that seem so small and minute between them felt so intimate and so tender that my heart ached in the best way. This is, ultimately, a literary romance, one with grit and uncomfortable explorations into themes of mental health, co-dependency, compulsive self-sabotage and the ways the veil of illusion begins to slip as relationships progress and we must decide to crack or embrace that ‘ it is perilously wonderful to suffer so sweetly with you.Olivie Blake—a pen name of chosen through a name generator—began her career writing fan fiction and self-publishing novels until going viral on social media landed her a book deal with Tor and the recognition she certainly deserves. I could study you for a lifetime, carrying all of your peculiarities and discretions in the webs of my spidery palms, and still feel empty-handed. Regan doesn't adhere to normal rules, always thinking of a better or worse outcome,bored with monotony. the writing style felt pretentious to me at first; how dialogues switch from being in first person i to being in third person she or him. for me, it had me fascinated from the third page, then almost shoved me out into another breakdown and had me so so stressed the whole time just to pull me back at the last minute, and at the end i’m still confused.

I will not understand how this book is classified as a romance when it felt like a horror story in my eyes.they were both dealing with a lot when they met, and the realistic portrayal of mental health was very much appreciated. I’m not one usually for a romance novel, but this feels rather different than what one would expect. and are they a safe harbor where the other may flourish or will they run to ruin, dashed to pieces on the shoreline of the other. Their looks, fears and flaws become just as ornamental as the time and art theories of their conversations that point like maps to their underlying feelings, and I find it a rather beautifully bittersweet theme to place art and science together as a romantic couple hoping their union is an eternal, cosmic force that can even bend time to its will. While this book isn't necessarily a romance for me, its been a long time since I felt so connected to the characters AND the connection between them.
