3½⭐️/5

I enjoyed:

  • Two people cooperating to try to build something bigger
  • Interesting side characters
  • Themes of perseverance

Not my jam:

  • Some of the talk around addiction (and some late-book topics) can come off as ableist and even anti-science. While you could also make the case that the way it’s portrayed shows it is a flawed POV … but there’s also a reverence for independence and “alternatives” that just felt dog-whistle-y to me.
  • Miscommunication
  • The power dynamics stuff, as always, does nothing for me.
