This was good. I kept changing my mind about how I felt about the “characters” - were they all terrible? Dumb? Conniving? Pitiable? It took me a while to realize it didn’t really matter - this is her life (sort of), and nobody is the fully good or fully bad (I mean… Trish and Patrick are PRETTY bad…). The imagined conversations could bother a lot of folks, I suppose, but I’m not one of them.

I really liked this. It took me a minute to get used to the dialogue style via audio and I didn’t find the narrator particularly likable (particularly in the flashbacks from the mid-to-late aughts/her late twenties) but I really liked the vignette format and fragmented timeline and interspersing of speculated scenarios with so many detailed memories. It’s a very short read and I was able to finish in just one day, but I was surprised at how much it hooked me and how much longer I could have waded through Hannah’s remembrances of her failed marriage and best friend betrayal. Highly recommend for those who love semi-experimental memoirs focused on complex relationship dynamics.
