I read this bc the cover was giving me unhinged female character a la bunny or myor&r with the hot pink and because I had Lucy dacus’ Night Shift stuck in my head when I found it in the bookstore so I thought it was a sign. I was mistaken. I found this book to be desperately unfulfilling and I like most of the books I read. Maybe I wasn’t in the right mood for it but there are better books exploring unhealthy and messy female relationships that do it better imo. Wasn’t my cup of tea to say the least but I feel like if you’re in a messy self destructive obsessive girlboss era it might appeal?

I loved this but am struggling to articulate why. It's certainly a "woman vs the void" story but there's more to it than that. An interesting character study on psychosocial obsession and merging, I think it will be hit-or-miss for a lot people, but it really worked for me. I think its one of my favorites of the year.

A short little book about obsession. I’m not a big fan of the manic pixie dream girl so I wasn’t really sure why everyone was so into Sabine.
