FUCK i just wrote a whole review and my dumbass browser deleted it. fuck this i have a work meeting in 3 minutes so

  • It's slow in some places, rushed in others, wavered between good pace and bad pace for me
  • Dust jacket on the hardcover says this is about dementia and the line between truth and lie and like yes, but also, is it? 
  • Was recommended this as a “bad mom bad child” book but I think it's more about faith and art than it is about family and generational trauma, I certainly think it's telling a story about femininity and duty the same way a “bad mom bad child” book does
  • I think I liked it but it didn't quite win me over
