I give this a 3/5 stars but I'm not sure it's something I'd recommend unless someone was looking for something similar or asked specifically about this book.

So interesting, the narrator is fantastic, and even though there's no real plot, I was still enjoying every chapter because the writing style is so easy to sink into.Â
Graphic: Adult/minor relationship, Alcoholism, Medical content, Eating disorder, Infidelity, Sexism, Abortion, and Addiction
Minor: Sexual assault
The alcoholism, cheating, and medical content are basically the entire last half of the book. I think by our standards we would say that Scott was abusive and manipulative but I don't think that in the time period he would have been labeled of that so I'm not sure if it's fair to put that warning in the tags?hunkydory's review against another edition
