The one passage that made an impact on me was “Velocity vs Viscosity”
Kaysen did a well job in explaining the deconstruction of what's supposed to be a simple thought but how it goes down a rabbit hole.
That passage captured me because it's what I deal with every day. I've been on an active journey in trying to heal myself and this memoir brought up some really uncomfortable feelings.

The writing however in this book left me feeling detached. I thought some of the chapters didn't make sense and or the placement was off and the overall flow wasn't great.

If you read this book and just take it chapter by chapter, kind of like a short story collection other than something that's all supposed to match together it makes the reading experience much more enjoyable.
