This is the sad, unhinged hot girl book I’ve been waiting for. The one that reads the way I wish my angsty teenage diary did, if I had had an MFA and real woman problems at fourteen. This is the story of a girl, then a woman, coming undone by trauma and, later, a breakup. It’s told in poetic fragments that had me reading the entries over and over.

Felix is both a poet and political writer, so the prose is sharp and lyrical. This is short—I read it in one sitting— and packs a serious punch. One interesting part of the reading experience is reconciling the mess of the person on paper with the real life Felix. Reading this made me feel human.

Read this if:
-You loved Sorrow & Bliss*
-You reach for no plot // just ~ViBeS*~ books
-Your genre of choice is “trauma.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
