Parakeet by Marie-Helene Bertino

adventurous emotional funny reflective tense fast-paced

4.5

This was really wonderful and absurd. I struggled to get into the story at first, and parts of it were a bit upsetting, but once we get introduced to Simone, the story really turns around. She helps anchor the book so that the reader can feel more free to be swept up into the surrealist portions. Th writing is great, and there are some really terrific lines and meditations on relationships and intimacy.
