emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

4.25

I really liked it but it just went so fast, I feel like I need to read it again and again before I can really ~ understand ~ it.  The audiobook is really well done too, narrated by the author, highly recommend although the poems might be more easily understood with the book version. It's interesting that the author chose to center the story on the supposed love story when that was really a minor note to the book, which was about her life as a whole. I also don't know how we're meant to feel about this man bc we don't know him long enough to love him or b e invested in her love for him as much as I feel like she was / wanted to convey?

dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

So wonderfully powerful. A great reflection of mental health and the struggles of 1. Identifying poor mental health and 2. Recovering. I was a little lost on the connection to math for a while, but it ultimately comes around with beautiful prose and a haunting melody. Very powerful and very insightful! What powerful self-reflection and vulnerability.
