I considered various possibilities but didn't really get it, other than thinking she was trying to write the way people do in texts and WhatsApp using their thumbs -- can't be bothered to do capitals and punctuation. But it still doesn't make sense. This is a novel, she's presumably not writing it on a phone. In places the line splitting works in a poetic way, but mostly not. That apart I am actually enjoying it.(less)
