I am Bek (they/them). This is my Read-o-Rama vlog that ends up turning into a week-long vlog. In this, I am emotionally devastated by Ari and Dante and I spend a lot of time with my cats. Note that one of my cats does go to the vet (which is why this turned into a whole week ordeal), but she is fine now!
Also note that I say a few things that parts of something is or isnt relatable I mean it doesnt mirror my personal experiences, not that I cant see it being relatable or I dont see the emotions (because I do think the book shows those other emotions well and can totally see parts being personally relatable to some people so it *is* relatable to the human condition and emotions.). I was trying to say that *all of it* wasnt responsible for ripping my heart out, but the details that reflected my experience were enough to Wreck me.
