To me this felt all over the place. I couldn’t follow the timeline, because it was jumping around so much. I didn’t find our main character Thandi likable. I wanted to love her mom but we didn’t get enough of her in the story besides mainly when she was sick. There were some good moments and it had some potential, but the skipping around just ruined it for me. I wish it had followed a timeline and we would have gotten to see more from before illness, then during, then after. Thandi was sex obsessed and it kind of overshadowed the story. There was also a really crass line about f-ing death in the a- and death liked it… that just felt completely unnecessary.
