Such an interesting writing style, which I really enjoyed.

Part 1 I initially thought would reveal itself to be the thoughts/experiences of someone with psychosis, so made me really question my own scrolling habits and I realised it was perhaps in the style of the scattered information overload that happens when you obsessively scroll social media feeds. 

Part 2 left me in an emotional wreck and I could picture everything so vividly. The contrast with Part 1 and the themes of loss and regret (including of time, with mindlessly scrolling) hit a chord and I found the storyline with the
pregnancy, baby and death was so beautifully and heartbreakingly written
