cool, funny, better than other crazy sex lady books bc it's autofiction. felt less contrived and more genuine. i do believe she lives like this. at one point she says something like her work is about trying to convey the way she experiences life. yeah, i believed her.

This book is a weird journey, an emotional road trip if you will, to go on. In the first half of the book I constantly asked myself, "What the hell am I reading?" but the last half felt somewhat revelatory. This book brings up so many questions and good points of discussion and is, at the same time, disturbing and uncomfortable. Maybe that's what makes it so intriguing! Like a car crash you can't look away from. It definitely explores a lot of feelings I think many women have but never say out loud. Is the main character a narcissist or just a woman fully exploring her desires? Worth a read, prepare yourself for the wild ride.
