Still gathering my thoughts but first impressions
-there’s not a traditional plot, yet I couldn’t put this book down
-the end had me very emotional, idk something about moving past a feeling, even a bad one, feels like some kind of bittersweet culmination or release
-kinda want to immediately reread to piece together all the literary references and commentary about writing
