Oh my was this a strange read. I'm not really sure where to begin or end with this one...
The protagonist is a flawed person in a crisis and making some bad and perplexing decisions. The progression of events often feels so inexplicable as to be perfectly realistic to the absolute nonsense of a real personal crisis, but it's also very difficult to get inside the protagonists head or understand even the bad ways she arrived at some decisions.
While I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it overall, I can say it's difficult to recall what positive feelings I had about this book other than a side interest in the medical things mentioned (as per their relevance to my studies). And that's not exactly a glowing recommendation is it? Can't say I would recommend, but I think maybe it's good at what it meant to do? Maybe I will understand when I too become a middle-aged woman in crisis.
