I think this is well written and is probably beautiful and meaningful. However it took me 8 reading sessions to get through the 90 minutes it took me to read this because I just could not connect with it. I am not someone who loves books that feel like a fever dream, and this unfortunately was that. Every other line is some poetic line about grief and I was never really sure what was happening, nor did I care.

This is a great book, but not for me.
