tarabahl's review against another edition
I wanted to love this book so much esp since it’s written by a brown female author. The prose is beautiful in places, but it just seemed overall bleh to me. It wasn’t engaging and didn’t keep me compelled to read. A lot of stream of consciousness narrative that goes nowhere. I’m so sad I didn’t enjoy this book

“But liking is altogether different. It’s gentle. Almost chewy. Liking someone is taffy.”
I checked this book out from the library but I think I need to own a copy. There are so many beautiful sentences/thoughts in this book that I want to be able to reference.

Three pages in I was taken with the prose. Savoured the practice of reading this book, squatting inside its sentences and feeling out the words to meet numerous selves in each penned, frayed yet all one the same - an anthology of the indefinite.
With the exacting strength of every page, Too Much and Not the Mood is an infallible debut. Devotional to the temporising, the vastness of heart and habit.
Without the affinity of words we are all but bereft.
Durga - for its following, play it by year. Take your time. Whatever you need. There’s no rush.
