Eh I don’t know. I never connected with it. I breezed right through. But all of the conversations felt stale and robotic to me. Her experiences filled were never filled with heart or emotion just thought and logic. I was missing something much deeper.

You know when you get like, not even ten pages into a book and already you just want to roll around in it forever? Yeah. Holy shit this was great, start to finish, totally satisfying and lovely and all over great.

The style was so experimental and at times beautiful and at other times boring. In some lines I saw myself so clearly reflected back that I was stunned. The honesty was piercing. I feel like the middle got a little lost but the whole thing felt like an unfurling ribbon of consciousness.
