Went through a breakup that genuinely wrecked me. The kind where he seemed completely unbothered and that somehow made it so much worse, like the whole relationship meant nothing. I felt like I had lost my sense of self entirely, not just him. Came across make him quietly obsessed by mia mercer almost by accident and started reading it not really expecting much. Something about the way it was written just clicked in a way other books never did. It wasn't just about getting someone back, it helped me understand the dynamic I had been stuck in and why I kept ending up in the same place. I started feeling like myself again before I even finished it. Did not expect that from a dating book at all.
