DNF.  I was so fascinated in the beginning, then it became a bit repetitive and boring to read.

i love it. I want a physical copy that I can put in my shelf so every time I look at my shelf I am reminded of Mathea’s story.

A sad book about a deeply lonely and anxious old woman struggling to do basic tasks and to connect with people. The book does a good job invoking sympathy for her, while also showcasing why most people find her off putting.
