this book feels like a stream of consciousness and i absolutely loved it. it was a nice break from the typical structure of books that i’ve read before. i wish i could read it again for the first time because it really transports you into a different time and mental space. the main character is literally a terrible person but that makes you want to read it all the more because she’s so inexplicably magnetic.
