If you like stream of consciousness and books on the line of HBO's 'Euphoria' then you'd probably enjoy it. Mostly, though, it's just really sad.

All or most of this is to the credit of the main character's voice — maybe it's because I've been reading too much genre fiction and semi-fictional-biography lately, but it has been awhile since I read a book with a real, in-your-face narrative voice, complete with initially-frustrating dialect transcriptions.
Full of aliveness.
