An absolute masterpiece of feminine rage 🤌🏼 ! Or maybe feminine frustration is a better description.
I read this in about two hours. I could not put it down.
What do you do when you can't even trust yourself? Self-medicate, exercise, be impulsive, work harder... 🤷🏻♀️
There is so much story packed into this little novella; many of the chapters are only one sentence, but the impact is strong. I enjoyed the writing style and how the narration barely starts to bleed with stream-of-consciousness in parts. You feel like you are spiraling with the MC for a few pages and then settling again. It's a real rollercoaster.
Side note: I was so invested in the neighborhood cats.
