DID NOT FINISH: 12%

Maybe it would be good if I had the background familiarity with the play the MC keeps referencing, but honestly this was so hard to trudge through I didn’t feel it was worth continuing for 12 more hours.

I really liked the exploration of chronic illness/chronic pain in this book. I also liked the theatrical element. Overall, it was a good read. It was unique. I wasn't sure what to expect from the ending, but the ending was satisfying.

Hmm. Odd. But I don’t know enough about All’s Well That Ends Well to dispute this. I will say that I wasn’t a huge fan of the writing style. Lots of repetition and also no one says another persons name that often when speaking to them?? “Hello, Miranda! Miranda, are you okay, Miranda? That’s so weird, Miranda. You’re limping, Miranda.” SHUT UP??

I loved this book. It was thought provoking and the writing elicited strong emotions. I found the narration and POV to be interesting. I’m a huge Shakespeare fan so I appreciated the combination of elements from All’s Well That Ends Well and MacBeth.

Reality blurs as this character slowly spirals in a pill-induced haze down the rabbit hole of her own failures. Addicts and disabled folx will identify with this story, theatre lovers will find it amusing, and no one will know what is real and what is not. This book was meant to convey how women go insane from not being believed about their pain. But it turned out to be more about how addiction/lack of therapy & proper medical care/delusions can lead to a downward spiral. But hey, all's well that ends well, right?
