(Copy received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review)

Hoo boy, this book was not for me. At 173 pages, I couldn't even finish it. Too vague, too wishy-washy, no concrete ideas whatsoever. I have a Master's in Narrative Theory and this was so theory-based, nothing tangible to hold onto at all, that it was completely incomprehensible. I got 40 pages in and I literally could not continue. The use of parentheses every other sentence (to add meaning? Usually with interrogatives? For no apparent reason?) really, really didn't help the flow. It came across as fragmented, and in a book which is already difficult to get a foothold on, that was the nail in the coffin for me.

This book might be someone else's favourite. I'm sure someone else will be able to parse some meaning from it. I wish I could be that person, but I am not.
