I feel this has made me reflect on my life and given me hope that I'll also find equilibrium and the system that affirms my self.

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?

This is more about bipolar 2, dyscalculia is more of an aside.

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.

emotional reflective tense fast-paced

5.0

I loved this book. Tense rawness with which Feliz tells her story powerful and admirable. She talks about her trauma and struggles with mental illness in such an uncensored way that could be beneficial for other women with similar experiences.

I thought the the format of the book made it easy to get through despite the nature of the subject. Some pages have one paragraph or one sentence, and I thought this made the reader experience great. Big block of texts can sometimes be overwhelming and the structure allowed for breaks and breaths between all the awfulness that is addressed.

I can’t imagine how this book could have been better.
