Though I know she wrote it before getting Long COVID, I couldn’t help but connect the rage and despair of Galatea begging the doctor to believe her with the millions having the same fight today.

Things I didn’t like: worrying about pedophilia. The way the husband spoke. The way the hospital staff behaved.
Do I think all of the things I didn’t like actually were purposeful for the story? Yes. Do I respect the writer’s choice of writing it as she did even though it made me uncomfortable? Yes. But only 3 stars because I did not like the way the story made me feel while & after reading. I would not re-read but I would seek out other writing by this author as I think the writing was stylistically very smart and enjoyable.
Moderate: Domestic abuse and Sexual assault
