Reread again. I feel like I appreciate this much more now. I think it gets better the more I think about it and see it for what it is, a collage of a complex life and the process of processing it for what it was, what it is and what it could be.

Kaia Gerber’s obsession with this book makes sense to me.

Molto bello, anche per il modo in cui è scritto. Mi piace il fatto che l'io parlante non sia affidabile e che spesso il punto di vista si stacchi dalla persona, quasi si parlasse di una terza persona. Non molto lineare, infatti non ho capito molto, ma comunque bello da leggere.
