Impossibly beautiful, poignant writing. Just sublime. The story was not the most exciting (which is why I give it 4 stars instead of 5), but it was told skillfully through metaphors and abstractions (in which I admittedly got lost). The overall tone of the book is bleak, nostalgic and somewhat melancholy. I thoroughly enjoyed it, though I’m not sure I fully understood it, nor do I know how much there really is to understand here.

Stream of consciousness, constant point of view flips, and no structural organization were not solid stylistic choices for this book. Oh, and it was pretty gross overall.

writing itself was beautiful but the format of the book was so aggravating to read for me. interesting portrait of a woman but pacing was also odd.
