Realmente quería gustar este libro. Está bien escrito y el tema es diferente de lo que estoy acostumbrado a leer. Pero era muy oscuro, y se sentía un poco etéreo, saltando de un parte a otra. No estaba de humor para leer este libro, pero lo recomiendo de cualquier manera.

This book was unsettling and a bit unhinged. The different perspectives throughout the story paint a picture of how an individual can be viewed—especially someone in crisis—through the lenses of different relationships. Cruelty, compassion, obsession, and fatigue are all captured beautifully in these pages.
