When I read the synopsis of this book on my Libby app, I thought this sounds interesting. It sounds like it could be rather good. Unfortunately for me it was not. I’m really not into the stream of consciousness writing ,the no quotation marks with dialogue style. To me it’s like reading endless babble. I really didn’t care what was happening to this woman she’s either turning into a dog ,thinks she’s a dog is a dog, and with the ending I’m not really sure was she acting or was she a little bit out of her mind. I should’ve really Dnf’d after a certain part but I’m not a big dnf’r of books. Once I start them I have to finish them —usually because I pay for them. Luckily, I didn’t buy this one. Got this one off my Libby app that I waited. Three months for. Wasn’t worth the wait.

The writing style was pretty boring with a generic character. I kept thinking, “I’m bored,” throughout listening to it. My final straw was when she stabbed a cat. No thank you.
Nowhere near worthy of the hype it’s getting.

a few things i jotted down while reading:
- this book feels like i’m having a chat with my dear friend on a visit to the psych ward
- i truly with every fiber of my being thought that “herbs” were weed
- her library fees have got to be astronomical like we see her take books out frequently and never return not one

The review blurb on the front cover says "bold" and "bizarre," perfect words to describe this, and meant in the best way.

I didn't love every single moment, but this is a damn good book. Reads like one of those short stories from English class that you think about for the rest of your life, but longer and funnier. Felt like Kafka mixed with Neil Gaiman mixed with (cis) womanhood/motherhood anger.
