It took me a while to follow the format and dreamy state of this book—fragmentary, poetic, suggestive —but once I got the hang of the style, I fell in love, admired it, found it intriguing and compelling: the book is painfully beautiful (or beautifully painful) or both.
Not your typical sequential memoir. At times, left me wanting more.

This book was very lyrical, to the point it was hard to know what was going on.
Heart wrenching and bleak.
