Interesting exploration of some ideas around trauma, abuse, memory and care work that felt underdeveloped. The flat narrative voice across a lifetime which made it feel like the narrator/main character was stuck in a perpetual adolescent may have been intentional but fell flat for me as led to a lack of character development/actualisation.
