I don’t feel confident enough to critique a book that I didn’t fully understand. What narrative and plot drill structure existed. I enjoyed.
I was never frustrated enough to stop reading, but I did realize at the halfway point that there were chapters – full chapters – where I was completely out of my depth. Did illicit string feelings of unease rom me which was the point I think. This book was saying something about gendered violence, but I’m not sure what.
I’m glad that I read and I do wish that I read it with a group especially Group that annotates and takes notes.
There was a lot interesting here and I think that this is a good book for the right reader. I struggle with books that don’t have a straightforward narrative so I knew in that this would be a challenge. I’ll likely be on YouTube looking for breakdowns and hoping to join in conversations about this for sometime.
