Absolutely haunting prose. I couldn't put this down in the best and worst of ways. Make sure to read this in a good headspace; it's devastating.

Didion is a genius... play it as it lays is good how boxers are good, one, two hits, it's poison or sedatives(what does it matter) slowly dripping into your IV bag.

I just didn't get it
I switched to audiobook half way through and managed to find myself in the story then, which was awesome

But do not fear I will persevere with Joan. Bring on a year of magical thinking
