i love the different stories/timelines running through the book, it makes sense with the ideas and ghosts in the book and from a trauma-writing point of view. (lack of) linearity always a beautiful and powerful tool !! i love her!!
also really enjoyed all the different relationships and ways of loving that we get to see. particularly familial relationships which are a bit dysfunctional but you can still see and feel how much love is there. it’s like an ache to feel it so deeply and be unable to express it or break the cycles/patterns passed down to you, but really loved

I will say - well written, and some storylines I found fascinating, they were just cut with incessant cruelty to the degree I will not be able to think of this book fondly
