There was no... Hook... For the first 100 pages. It read like an essay that was stretched too thin to make a book.

This is no ordinary memoir. This is a philosophical discussion that uses two significant moments in Sarah's life to inspire an investigation into the nature of truth and reality. She draws on Socrates, Plato, Virginia Woolf, Hannah Arendt, Schopenhauer, Kant, Sartre, her own high school experience, as well as the atrocious lie of sexual misconduct made against her wife to dive deep into sorting out what it all means. Engrossing, thought-provoking, astonishing, enlightening, courageous these are the words I would use to describe this utterly unique book. And that cover! Perfect two-headed snake or perhaps the shadow side reflection of the one?

I couldn’t get into it. Might try again in the future. It is well-written, just not what I was expecting.
