Read for Bad Bitch Book Club April 2024 BOTM.
I don't tend to love art books but there was enough interpersonal things going on aside from the art that it didn't bore me. I loved the theme of how harmful it can be to change yourself for someone else and how that is woven throughout the story.
I think this book is important and I'm glad I read it but I wasn't in love with it. It felt too long to me but I am happy that I read it.
This was not a calming audiobook at all which is not a complaint!! I just think it's good to share that there's a lot of yelling which is warranted but not if you're looking to listen on a calming walk.
