Decisamente meno incisivo di La Carne, ma voglio comunque leggere qualsiasi cosa Emma Glass deciderà di sfornare

a stunning exploration of burnout. as someone who used to work in healthcare and who struggled a lot with the emotional ramifications of being in that environment, this hit me hard

chapter titles were unnecessary and the writing felt very MFA, but overall a decent read. wish we knew more about the character’s life but I guess that’s the point of a short novella.

really thought she would kill herself and was surprised by the ending when she didn’t
