Stella Maris by Cormac McCarthy
3.0

3.5 stars***

A book following multiple therapy sessions is an extremely cool concept! I enjoyed the conversations around math, philosophy, and ideas around the root of mental health, but it’s sooooo wordy. I found myself spacing off multiple times and needing to reread sections. That being said, I didn’t read the sister book to this (The Passenger #1); reading that could very well change my mind. If I decide to read it, I’ll come back and edit this review.

If you’re able to get past the creepy and unethical sexual tension between the two main characters and want something that covers unique topics— give this one a go!
