Body Friend by Katherine Brabon
2.75
challenging reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

very atmospheric, the descriptions of the pools and being in the water, and the sleepy time-warp of convalescence. also the mindfuck of how pain transforms you over time and each day. although brabon masterfully puts a lot of nuanced feelings about pain and illness into words, the narration felt detached.
