I do not know what to think of this book! It felt like I was reading her diary and that made me a bit uncomfortable, especially because I felt like I was invading the privacy of her partner as well. Maybe it was not non-fiction? She described lots of dreams which I became a bit suspicious of after a while, like if they really happened, but maybe I just did not get the literature part of it and she did not mean actual dreams? I feel like I maybe just did not fully understand this book.

bleh. first, i rarely enjoy no plot/wandering/philosophical/experimental stories so off to a bad start. hated the woman. whiny, pretentious, disjointed, terrible bf. she just need meds to feel better about her decision to pass on kids? idk not for me. there were some things i thought were insightful but basically crumbs

Wouldn't read for summertime fun, but it was a hard look at one's desires and eventually got to an honest place.
