hazel you have such a way with words. i don’t know how to describe it but i genuinely feel as if i have also gone through this breakup. the way you write just creates such a visceral ache in my heart, i can feel the grief. these have been so calming in this tumultuous time, thank you so much. stay safe 💖

"and for a moment, he's my theo again" oh that HURT so so in love with this world you're creating in this chapter, and - as ever - in awe of your writing. this story is really making me think about the people we love and how that love can so easily sour, where somebody you cared so much about becomes somebody you cannot stand the thought of. i'm so intrigued to see how you handle theo's character in the earlier parts of the timeline, especially since you've done a fantastic job of making me hate him lol (and i think that shows just how strong your writing is, that you've created not only a character that i feel such anger towards - that character being theo, of course - but a character that has managed to /persuade/ me to feel that anger so ardently - that character being the narrator). i love hearing you talk about your writing process and all of these videos are such a blessing. i hope you're well and i'm sending you and yours much love!! :")

These videos have been so lovely. I’ve moved back into my family home for quarantine and although I love my family v much it’s been challenging to suddenly live together again. These videos have been the perfect escape, to lock myself in the bathroom for a bit, run a bath and have a little bit of quiet time. Thank you Hazel for some much needed distraction & calmness in these weird times x

In the moments when she's alone, I want to hold the protagonist and help her. When she's going about being productive, I want to applaud her for carrying on like a champion (in shock). Hazel, this is amazing and in this instalment especially, I've wanted to applaud your choices of words.

Hazel, you're killing us over here, and this is coming from 2 people who have never experienced a breakup. That's the thing, though. You write in a way that can make the most foreign situations to a reader seem like familiar feelings. It goes beyond empathy, it's genuinely like you've transferred pain from one person to another through nothing but words. Well done. Looking forward to experiencing the rest of the story.

your writing style is amazing. it's amazing because it feels like i am going through all those emotions again, but through the safety blanket of your soothing voice and the bright tones of the book cover (this might sound odd but they have somewhat informed the colour palette of the scenes I picture in my head as you read). honestly, i wish this was not the penultimate instalment

Well, that officially broke me and I'm quietly, but quite definitely, having an ugly-cry right now. Takes me right back to the day my ex-missus called time on our marriage and walked. That was a painful day. That was six years ago. Took another year of separation and wrangling with solicitors to finally bring some closure to our almost four years together. I still remember the little details, though. Just like the "Box of Doom". That bit genuinely made me smile a little brighter. Just hearing your voice makes everything in the world better than it was before :)

the whole "crazy bitch" thing is so unbelievably common, my ex said the same about all his exes and did the same I assume with me after breaking up with me, he also, much like you experienced, lied to me about wanting to remain friends having kissed me on the forehead and having hugged me etc and then was incredibly aloof and already seeing someone else etc. I love these videos so much already, your writing voice is brilliant and I love listening to you read as well. superb you funky lil bean edit - also Maya ... Maia ... is a fucking delight and I love her, she's so insightful and wiiise

Listening to this is hard... I went through a breakup and then straight into isolation. Being alone is really not good for me, I'm struggling. So I am not sure if listening to these has been the best idea. I've just been crying through it all. It's all so comparable to exactly what I'm feeling and what happened. So I just needed to write this down. I do not mean to be negative
