The writer obviously tried to write this as a healing journey for FL and ML. What happen though is the entire drama is overwhelmed by the all-encompassing and palpable dreary personality of the FL.

I consider the FL a passive toxic personality. I pity her family, her ex and her oblivious best friend who fantasizes having a relationship with her. The FL would be better off alone raising cats for the rest of her life. Her haughty and condescending behavior along with her manic depressive behavior makes for an interesting combination to say the least.
