5.0

A beautifully written wet fever dream that truly gets at the question of how should a person be that I haven't yet, but feel is not meant to be, fully processed. I loved the at times unfiltered quality of Heti's writing, which left my mouth agape throughout the read and my mind asking if she really just wrote that. I hope to return to this read at some point later in life.
