ughhhhh blech πππ
at first it was kind of a trip to read about an insufferable woman just fully go off the deep end, but now im sitting here annoyed, really annoyed.
there were fragments of this that were interesting and dare I say relatable (wanting to sleep and be nothing for months on end, stop the endless churn of life) but it was certainty not enough to make it a good book.
and the 9/11 shit bothered me too i knew it was going to end like that
not a book for me
