This was weird. And not in a good way. I feel like the moments where it delivers something with meaning are few and far between and often the journey there can be too convoluted. I like the concept of the book, a philosophical approach to feminism and women in art, but countless times I got lost in Chris' ramblings about paintings, or schizophrenia, or whatever it would be. If anything, I liked how the author grapples with obsession and the way in which we handle it as human beings, but a lot of it can come off as a bit creepy, especially considering this actually happened. I was not a fan of this book in the slightest, a chore to get through, but at least not a very long one.
