The Chronology of Water: A Memoir by Lidia Yuknavitch

4.0

life is so so messy. she writes with the mess through the mess hating the mess loving the mess. at first i didn’t get her style bc i haven’t read anything like this, but once i accepted the mess, i sank into it, and she taught me how to swim in it. there is so much pain. how she survived is a miracle. everyone’s portion is different, but i didn’t know it could be this different. i wanted to hide from her pain but she made me bear witness to it. i understand some of my pain because of this book. yup yup yup. ouch. (extra points because i was a swimmer and i’m currently in the PNW haha)
