I think the main reason I enjoyed (and devoured) this book so much is because so much is up for interpretation. And normally I hate that,  but it worked so well for me here. The rage and abandonment in a workshop. Feeling like an outsider. The representation of her voice, her art, and that the ideas themselves are her soulmate. The fucking possibility that

I found this book very tense, disturbing & at times, confusing. I understand where the author was trying to go with it, however I feel that it fell a bit short of that.
