This book was like a dream. A dream in the sense that it made absolutely no sense when you start trying to describe it to somebody. I felt like every sentence was like somebody recounting their weird dream to you. There were moments that were interesting but overall I didn’t care. The premise sounded promising but it felt flat for me.

main character roleplaying as an actual baby as a normal hangout with friends (and this being one of the more normal parts of the book) the boss casually going around AND BITING PEOPLE the main character breaking her finger on purpose just because???
i don't understand a single choice that was made in the making of this book.

First it was a fun mess. Then it was deeply sad. Finally, it ended in a confusing and ambiguous way. I liked it.

‘You’ve got me thinking, he announced. About your finger, the drinking, not answering the phone to your husband. The things we do to damage ourselves. It’s all connected.’
