jaclynday's review against another edition
5.0
This short book is an unexpected gut punch. I read it in the early morning hours: insomnia had taken over and the quiet darkness of the night combined with the semi-delirium of exhaustion lent it extra weight. I can’t begin to explain the writing: genius, heart-wrenching, every sentence a work of art. Bird, our protagonist, is a full-bodied character in the reader’s mind and soul within a matter of pages. The push and pull between Bird’s everyday and her imagination is so intense that it’s hard not to feel like you’re awake–but dreaming–while reading certain portions. This is as raw as reading gets.
