The slowest paced of slow paces. Incredibly, shockingly slow. The writing style is beautiful but man Anne rambles on about completely irrelevant things. Still, I enjoyed it, I found the narration charming and humorous, even if I didn’t finish it. I don’t think I would recommend it to others though, since it’s slow and has a lot of potentially triggering -or just gross- content.
