I devoured this book. It was so easy to read, and you get such a great idea about the main characters flaws and what's going on inside her head. I liked the almost vignette style and the flash backs within them had a flow that worked for me (but I could see why it might not work for everyone).

Captivating writing, and such an honest representation of someone struggling with mental health and the scale of humanity and our suffering. And somehow also funny? Very, very clever book.

4.0

Heartbreaking. Narrator is deeply, deeply anxious and perfectly captured. 

Also part-get-your-life together, part-murder-mystery. And life’s a struggle for everyone. Plenty of sympathetic characters from various walks of life. 

Quietly hopeful ending.
