What did I just read? I am confused, and disgusted with the inter-familial relationships and longing. There were a few interesting lines and I did enjoy aspects of how the narrator's mental health and mother's disease played off each other. Overall though, the book just fell really flat for me.
Moderate: Chronic illness, Cursing, Dementia, Drug use, Emotional abuse, Pregnancy, Sexual content, and Suicidal thoughts
