I read this in one day. I think that’s the only way to get the full experience. The text is easy to follow, and feels slightly stream of consciousness. I think I will need to sit with the story in its entirety for a while to fully get my thoughts on it.

laurentrowb's review against another edition

I don’t feel like it’s appropriate to give this book a rating due to the extreme truths it holds. The events were told in a cold and detached way, making you dig for what actually happened. It emphasizes the “new normal” that the characters experience, especially in the second half of the book. I almost wish I would’ve read this in a literature class or something, I feel like I missed out on some nuance and metaphor.
