An interesting albeit weird read. A woman reflecting on life, choices and cycles.  

It was trying for unnerving and tense, and while it was in places - it felt lacking. The strangeness could have been dialled up.

I really did not get much from this book, but it wasn't all bad. Pretty unmemorable, and it seemed to go very slowly for such a short book. I did find myself a little bored in the beginning, and confused throughout the rest of it. Not a horrible book, just not even close to my favorite.
