A dark, visceral read about a woman lost in her mind, comsumed by blood & losses. Absolutely fantastic book, needed to let it wash over my mind.
Will read again, to reflect on the deeper meanings.

I definitely didn’t know what was going on throughout the majority of this book, a stream of consciousness of a character who is definitely struggling through a lot of things and isn’t the best person. Her feelings surrounding relationships are complex and somewhat Freudian in nature and the characters attachment to substances to get through life lead to borderline psychedelic thought patterns
