2.0

I liked the overall story / plot but the book kind of lost me towards the end. The alternate endings felt rushed and not particularly important. I didn’t like the style of writing but can appreciate the uniqueness of it. 

The imagery was great throughout the book, I could really picture the scenes as they were described.

i don’t think i totally “got” everything that happened in this book but i cried a lot when it ended. i really enjoyed the unique structure, from first person to third person to omniscient narrator and even a play! some of this was really ambiguous and it made you think really hard about what was going on, which i think was why it took me a bit to get through (besides it being heavy at times, please check trigger warnings!!!) this was such a special reading experience and one that will have me thinking for a long time
