Plot- or character-driven? Character

4.0

A single sitting read which feels satisfying. It’s short but there’s so much packed into it. Various weaving threads and places like the doctors, mentions of both the protagonists family and childhood but also the involvement with her boyfriend’s, the office culture, etc. And all within that is this ongoing imperialism and racism that infiltrates into every fibre of everyone’s lives. I loved end note poetry bits and the Figures - more of an unusual structure and format of writing which makes it more exciting. It feels kinda brutal so I can’t say I enjoyed it really as it was so.. UGH.

Eg. The bit where the boyfriend is living his life by evaluating each decision as whether it’s biography worthy??

such a fascinating and political book, about race, love, abuse, power, class, and success. completely obsessed with it, though found the book got a little too prescriptive and plain towards the end.
