it was easy to finish.
and difficult to read.
easy: i really like
the pacing, voice,
characterization.
difficult:
1. I... am studying my eye
for desire politics...
this book was useful
in this regard --
the narrator's discussion
of self, Whoopi
("magical negro trope"/fixation
with Whoopi and her body),
and/in relation with every other
person/subject in the book.
2. This person
is really hurting.
p.s.
did not realize
until now that
her name -- we do
not ever get it!

Content warnings: Heavy drug abuse and depression (this is the entire plot) eating disorders parental death (multiple cases) 9/11 Domestic abuse animal cruelty (somewhat graphic discussion in the first chapter, but easy to skip over since it’s only about a paragraph. The narrator does not partake in it and instead is just describing something someone else did. Short mentions of the same situation about two more times through the book. Also easy to skip over. As someone who can’t handle really any mention of animal cruelty, I was able over easily and ignore.)laceylou10's review against another edition
