  The first half of this book feels a bit lost, like not really sure what it's saying or why. The themes of disease and mortality come up a lot but without much meaningful exploration, always making the same point. The second half is almost a separate book. Heavy. I found myself frustrated with how self centred our protagonist is throughout. It's never empathy always shock. Margaret Atwoods prose is still great but not much else I can say I took away
