Jane: A Murder by Maggie Nelson

katharinaamaliae's review against another edition

emotional inspiring sad medium-paced

4.25

I read this in an hour and a half, wich doesn't happen to me really often, but this was just so beautiful. The writing was amazing and for me, someone who barely reads poetry, also easy to understand, but at the same time it wasn't too simple. 
Maybe I just read it too fast, but I didn't feel that much of a connection to Jane throughout the book, wich I thought was kinda disappointing, but that was really the only thing I didn't like. Amazing book, and got me out of a reading slump so plus points for that.

I want so much-to be versatile, charming, warm, deep, intelligent, accomplishing something, loving,
fooling around, giving instead of getting, cheery not driven, sure not uncertain, possessing not anticipating, answers not questions.
