Truly an interesting and philosophical book. More so as it went along. Lots of really interesting concepts and topics brought up and explored. 
It’s a unique type of book, written completely in dialogue between two characters: an unstable math genius and her psychiatrist/therapist (idk the correct term) at a mental hospital she checks herself into. 
Did I fully understand everything they(she) talked about? No probably not. But I do actually think I got most of it and McCarthy did a good job of making, the math stuff especially, fairly accessible. Inchresting

I’m not sure I’d have enjoyed this book if I’d read it off the page— there are a lot of parts that are completely academic and seemingly disconnected from the plot??? But Julia Whelan and Edoardo Ballerini are the best narrators and made the audiobook very dynamic.
