I️ used to love this book in high school- actually one of my favorites. Was I️ just extremely depressed? Rereading it now makes me think so. It’s still lyrical and pretty in places that are really effective, but the rest of the time (particularly the first three quarters), the characters seem hollow. And it’s partially the point that they should seem and feel empty, but it’s odd on the page, and all the characters (especially the men) kind of blend together in a haze of bad-ness.

hard to follow at first but obsessed with the snapshots of her life
“you’ve ever made a decision?”
my favorite quote:)
i appreciated the hints at her life and how it was almost a puzzle to put together
