A review by jessdekkerreads
Alphabetical Diaries by Sheila Heti

reflective

3.0

Respect it for its unique narrative structure. Heti chronicles her life over a ten year time period and then alphabetizes her diary entries. 

It’s a hard one for me to review, but I will say it’s definitely worth the read. I loved reading vulnerable snippets of Heti’s life. From anxieties over her writing career to self deprecating comments, to philosophical questions, to reflections on relationships, some often toxic. 

Full of interesting self reflections. I definitely underlined many passages, however, not sure if I’ll find myself rereading this one in the future. Definitely will be adding to my Heti collection on my shelf though. 

TY FSG for the early copy!
