Absolutely unlike anything I've read before. I loved the first half of this and how it managed to fill me up with so much rage. I wish the second half had been as powerful, I feel like it became the wrong kind of messy instead. The story was all over the place and not in a seemingly intentional way, the husband's role became less clear, and it was repetitive at times. Also, minus points for that one cat scene because as a crazy cat lady, that was the worst scene I could ever read. I still very much enjoyed the overall book but I wish the ending hadn't been so boring. A book that has so much to say and so much to feel deserves to end with a bang (although I do respect how it ends, it's just less my cup of tea).
