First part of this book I was completely and utterly lost. A mish-mash of Twitter-esque style paragraphs for 120 pages. It felt so disjointed and not like a story at all. Looking back on it I can see that it follows an unnamed woman who’s life revolves around “the portal” otherwise known as the internet. 

The second half was devastating. Such a sad auto-fiction story of an unimaginable, unavoidable loss. Which finally gave sense to the first half, nothing matters more than family. 

I think this isn’t a very accessible book for all. And definitely not what I was expecting.
