304 delightful pages of a woman’s unraveling. the pace was slow and a sometimes felt deeply confusing, but i think that was intended. i wanted more about the son, Jonathan. sometimes it felt overly confusing and fever-dream like with not enough reality check-ins to have the reader feel cared for. very uncertain of time period? i find myself with so many questions about her mental health, and childhood experiences. it just felt like there were some holes. but the writing style worked for me - haunting and detail rich. can definitely see it working well as a streaming service original series
