meowzersnap's review against another edition

I found the sections related to “B” very boring, even though I found Gala’s story to be the most interesting parts. However, her story would only take up half of the book length, maybe less.

This was a strange read- surreal fever dream vibes. The letter format was both compelling and also a bit confusing (how much access does Gala have to B—-/Diane’s interiority and how does she have it? Is any of this real? Dark magic? Fantasy/FanFic? Break with consensus reality? ). Midway through I totally lost steam on it and had a hard time staying engaged to the finish, but that could have been my own life stressors getting in the way. Some of the characters just petered out- which wasn’t satisfying but did make it feel more like a fanfic infused diary for Gala. A funky and at times heartfelt wander in some deserts of time and space and identity and family.
