This book is definitely not for everyone; if you’re someone that needs plot to a story - it is not for you. However, this book excels at creating a distinct and palpable atmosphere with beautiful yet direct writing. This is very much a character focused story and, while I didn’t always fully understand her actions, the narrator felt like a real person with a complicated view of herself and her own life. It is an interesting reflection on identity, autonomy, and the desire yet fear of something more. If you’re someone who likes atmospheric, character focused literary fiction - which I certainly do when I’m in the mood for it - I think you’ll like this.

I just think I fundamentally don't understand this book. Nothing really happens and the characters are just plain weird. There are a few interesting points but none of them result in any type of plot line or give any sort of resolution. I cannot say that at the end, the main character has discovered anything about herself even though that seems to be the main premise?
