Wow. Just absolutely obsessed. A fever dream with deep prose scattered throughout.

Wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as I did--surrealist in a fun way with gorgeous (if pretentious) writing.

kept me engaged but i don’t think i understand the book….? feels like there’s a deeper meaning than finding permanence finding ourselves finding our purpose??? can’t tell if it’s trying to tell us that nothing is permanent everything is temporary like your usefulness in the world etc felt this at the part where she got ‘fired’ from being the boy’s mother - kinda suggesting that it’s like that in real life too? at a certain point mothers lose their ‘usefulness’ when children no longer need their mothers. and this applies to almost everything actually??? maybe the only thing permanent is really change and your purpose is ever changing and it’s up to you????? honestly don’t think i get the book lol but if i just overlook the hidden message then the book becomes…. rather meaningless just random woman jumping from job to job with a bunch of boyfriends and speaking of the boyfriends i don’t get them too?!?? am i just too dumb for this book lol
