Aftermath: On Marriage and Separation by Rachel Cusk

emotional reflective sad slow-paced

3.75

This was a pretty intense book, even though it  was short, it took me a while to get through it. We get to go deep into the author's mind, her thinking process after her divorce, and what seems like slice of life stories that go way deeper and reflective than it appears at first. It felt like each chapter could be dissected and unraveled sentence by sentence so get a snapshot of a feeling, a thought, a deep emotion. It's not all fully explained on the page, but each section detonated a reflection for me. 
There were definitely some parts where I couldn't connect with her experience and thoughts but her sentences were still deeply impactful.
