It was hard for me to get into it at the start, but once I was I finished it in two days and read it everywhere I went. It's really nice, a great stream of consciousness that looks at what it's like to be a human/woman in this world, more specifically someone with greater sensibilities (neirodiverse). I loved that it allowed me to better see and understand some people's feelings and point of view towards life, while recognizing myself quite well in some parts. Another great thing about this book was how freely it talked about any and all subjects, and that including sexuality. In short this was really a nice read and I'm glad I let myself be tempted.
