3.5

weird sad manic pixie girl vibes. appreciate the utter strangeness of this book. kept me interested enough even if only to see what sort of unhinged shit the protagonist would do next. plot escalates in unexpected ways. writing is melancholic and dreamlike, but does feel forced at times. depictions of obsessive lust/longing were memorable. author's take on the nuances of language [?] didn't fully click with me - not big brain enough to understand the point of those sections. wouldn't say an altogether enjoyable reading experience but there were certainly compelling elements.
