Trying to decide if I will finish this story. The tone of the book is really throwing me off. There is Bex who is clearly depressed and traumatized making (funny) inappropriate jokes. Then there is Theo who is a total asshole. Then mixed into the book is your stereotypical contemporary romance but with notes of childhood abuse and sexism/misogyny that is not handled well.
