Better in theory than execution in my opinion. Likely much better if you have a better background knowledge of feminist writers than I do.

This book had an unusual structure which intrigued me, but ultimately, it was not my cup of tea. The character's mental illness shown through and it was stressful reading at times. Some of the writing was memorable, but I was probably not the intended audience for this book.

I cannot pretend to have understood this, really, but I still enjoyed reading it.

Using an index as the format was certainly different, but also really intriguing. Through it I was able to get a very good sense of who the main character is, and what has happened in her life that led to said 37th year.

I enjoyed reading this book-- short enough to read in one or two sittings but too much going on to plow through it too quickly. I finished feeling literarily inadequate but with a good reading list for correcting that.
