Creative, contemporary and unusual. This queer stream-of-consciousness style narration is bold in its depiction of mental health issues, loss of self and the despondency that comes from being part of something that is over. The reliability of the narrator is questionable from the offset. The book overall is fragmented and daring in style but that left me wanting more depth in the character we were depicted.
