Lots of discourse online about how this is hard to get into, which I don’t think I agree with — I was sucked in at the beginning, and things plodded a bit in the middle, then ramped back up at the end. I never quite know what ppl mean when they says a book is meditative, but I do now: this book soothes you into a lull so that you feel like you’re living the repetition with Tara. Also fundamentally relatable because I too hide in my room for hundreds of days rather than explaining myself to my housemates. My biggest complaint is that we don’t know anything about the characters — we barely even know how the main character feels, just a catalog of actions and repetitions. Which I suppose could be the point. But I was reallyyy missing some character work here
