This authors writing style is very interesting and addicting. This book was slow and difficult to read at times. The parts of the book that are real representations of life are depressing and challenging. The parts that are creative and mysterious are disturbing enough to make you read on. There’s a lot to unpack and think about.

Miranda’s descent includes a lot of stuff I didn’t care much about and struggled to connect to the story, and the end of the book was confusing at first. But overall a great read, especially for the chronically ill, the women filled with anger, people who have a small piece of them who desire revenge for the way the world has treated them, or fellow theater nerds.

dark tense medium-paced

I mean, god. What an enjoyable book! This book was point blank, so much fun and was gripping from beginning to end. It something very important to say about people with chronic pain not being believed by doctors and impacting their relationships in horrible ways, even more painful then the pain. Miranda believes that many people are her enemy and are against her and you can really see that fractured reality as you spend it in her head. More specifically, near the end of the book where she goes to sleep in the ocean.

Were some points shoved in your face? Yeah but that didn’t hinder my enjoyment of this book in any way.

Also, another win for the lesbians!

I read this in one sitting and literally could not put it down—I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The best kind of fever dream!

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.
