Beautiful portrait of such a terrible period in Didion's life. She was obviously writing from such a personal place of pain and growth and Didion captured it in all its nuance. Very difficult to read for long periods.

Took me a while to read because it was a little slow/repetitive in the middle. But, I still really liked it!! I've never hated a main character more.

The good parts were REALLY good but overall super long and slow.

absolutely brutal and couldn't put it down. took off a star for some gratuitously abusive descriptions but overall a very effectively disturbing horror novel!!
