If anything, this is a good palette cleanser book if you’re unsure what to pick up next because you’ll want to pick up anything else after finishing this one. 

I found this stilted with brief bits of plot that would slightly develop and then get immediately cut off. This was more of a show than a tell kind of book and read more like an outline of memoir that was left unfinished. 

I think I can see what the author was trying to do with this dark piece of literary fiction, but the stilted prose just didn’t work for me. 

I’m glad I picked this up on audio from the library via Libby as it was a very quick listen (4hrs and 21min at 1x) instead of purchasing as it would be an immediate unhaul.
