mysterious
reflective
2.75
This book disappointed me because I've heard so many great things about it. The writer just keeps complaining about how heartbroken she is and the aspects of how depression feels and it's so dragged out. Sometimes I feel like the writing is unnecessarily edgy as well. There are some good bits but even with 99 pages the book felt too long.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Suicidal thoughts, Chronic illness, and Cursing
Minor: Car accident

joni mitchell did it better
2/5 - there were parts of this that i really liked (the blue correspondences, her searching for blues in the world), parts that kind of undermined nelson’s own prose (near-constant quotations of others more complex than her when it comes to philosophy), and parts that were so out of left field and very evidently put there so nelson could use the word “fucking” as often as possible (we get it, you’re upset and incredibly horny)
overall i thought the concept interesting but the execution underwhelming

Don't want no other shade of blue but you
No other sadness in the world would do
