another vanity pick..idc..i love this cover ! whirlwind of emotions. can't fully understand why maybe it was that the chapters got longer and longer, so i felt like i was being allowed in more, somehow, the super distinct prose/voice that felt so much more personal? than i think i'm used to balancing simplicity and beauty, but i cared! so so much! almost like i was experiencing her anger and grief and joy(however brief) with her, so much so i couldn't put it down because i felt like my not reading to the end was holding her back from a resolution..parasocial reading.. 
book i would love to own and mark up bc some of these quotes r so completely stuck to my brain!
