hillarycopsey 's review for:

Will There Ever Be Another You by Patricia Lockwood

2.5

---

So much of this book reads like a word salad. It's intentional, to illustrate the neurological effects of long covid, but it's a lot to ask a reader to spend time with, especially when there's very little to no narrative arc. The episodic form feels better suited to a collection of essays or stories. The whole thing feels like distant kin to Carmen Maria Machado's memoir, In The Dream House.
