I found myself in her. The ways she described her daily interactions with her surroundings and her friendship with Leonard is vivid in a sense that is undefinable.

I underlined many parts and will read again soon.

I found this disappointingly unlikable and not because of its non-linear structure, an element I can usually appreciate. I just couldn’t stand the narrator and, by extension, the way she interpreted and recounted her experiences.

her reflections on life were witty and wonderful, and she was often able to put into words what i had never been able to. this started super strong, i expected an easy 5 star read. it began to meander and lose steam through some more random anecdotes, and some of her commentary was tone deaf, which left a bad taste in my mouth.

Ich mache das Buch sehr es ist zwar ein wenig chaotisch von der Chronologie allerdings ist ihr Schreibstil sehr schön und hat auch sehr viele Weisheiten in sich viel Zitate
