Such pain, such badass prose.

I swallow her as if she were a sword, little by little and with enormous care
Beautiful writing. Heavy with themes of motherhood and growing out of a relationship, but also funny sometimes.

Interesting prose, but meanders in a way that felt like this needed another editing pass. Felt we spent too long in the early parts and whirled past all the emotional juiciness of the later parts.
