Wow wow wow. This book is a masterclass on the human condition and humanity's drive for storytelling and literature. It turns tropes on their heads. It's witty and laugh-out-loud funny at times. It blends heavy and light and explores big themes. I loved every second of this ride.

This was a hard, hard read. The style was intentionally fragmented, like stream of conscious in the girl's head with limited punctuation or clarity of who is saying what. It was challenging material, and a challenging style. But it is unique.

Wow wow wow. This book was incredible. It was sharp and witty and the characters were funny and real. The exploration of the human condition and life under the spotlight of fame was fascinating. I really enjoyed this read, but man, was it a ride.

This is an incredibly compassionate view of dementia and memory loss, specifically around Alzheimer's and related diseases.
