This was ok. The reflective parts felt a bit repetitive. The narration wasn’t great- there were lots of pauses that made it feel stilted. I sped it up and that helped some. Overall, I don’t regret reading it, but I’m not sure that I’d recommend it either. If you know who Erica Jong is or who the author is, you may have more investment in this than what I did, since I don’t know either.

Name dropping. Narcissism complaining about other narcissists. Annoying narration. No thanks.

I listened to the audiobook, which is read by the author. It sounds like a caricature of somebody reading poetry at an open mike night. And the book is not about her mother’s dementia: it’s about a poor little rich kid who was ignored by her parents. I think we’ve already read a few of those.
