this was solid but if I want a story about a discontented housewife I’d rather read Shirley Jackson

Fun and intiguing story which shows how seemingly perfect existance is far more complex and tragic from those that are visibly disfunctional. You cannot lead a perfect life no matter how hard you try, your past and your decisions will always be part of you, so there is no point in hiding behind the pretenses of perfection. This is a very gloomy depiction of a life towards which our current social present leads. However, I enjoyed it very much, and I recommend it to everyone above 20.
