I agree with the folks who said this was good on a sentence level. She wrote some lovely, reflective sentences. But I found myself quite bored with this book. It was fine.

not very engaging or poignant or unique. but still an enjoyable enough read. attenberg’s writing is methodic, charming, and vulnerable, but not so much so as to elevate this memoir.
