uncomfortable and i am disliking how much i was intrigued by the characters. there’s something about a character-driven study that is haunting and gross. i couldn’t put it down even though i was internally wincing away.
icicle motif is cool! a lot of different literary analysis went through my head with this story. i know Moshfegh put a lot of thought into it all and i like her style.

for me, everything i wanted out of the book was from chapters 27 and on, which is like towards the very last quarter. The true evidence and core “HOW TO RUN” is in this latter section and it’s what i personally wanted the most.
it’s informative and fascinating even though sections feel very long at times. I think it did well as an audiobook, but I physical copy to reference back to would be nice too.

i’m gonna finish this another time. it draws out and i’m not as totally engaged as I usually am. I am also stepping into another work of fiction soon for the book club and this will be too much.
