I felt like this book had no purpose. It almost had the same feeling as reading a poem when, after finishing it, I appreciate and quickly move on.
This book would have been more enjoyable if the sister's narrative was replaced with Anthea, and we read her narrative the entire time, and the author developed Anthea and Robin's relationship. Because the lack of detail and development meant I didn't care for them, or any character, and everything just became almost meaningless for me.

Although I did enjoy the part when Robin told and retold the story in Ovid's metamorphosis.

There was literally no literary reason for Imogen to have been homophobic. I don't know why that was part of the story, but ok.

The ending was not as gratifying as it could/should have been. I felt like this book was too short to make a lasting impact for me.

The style was interesting and the characters were interesting e ouch. Unfortunately some of the ideas behind the feminist and queer things felt pretty dated at this point. Quick read.

Too esoteric and poetic for my tastes, I'm sure people who enjoy that style of book will enjoy this.

That was a pretty fast read. Though the book touches on issues such as sexism, homophobia, and eating disorders (and more beyond), it does so within an overall inspiring and hopeful narrative.

Smith's stream-of-consciousness writing style took me some effort to get used to, but I think it worked out pretty well for this book specifically.
