Not my jam. Not terrible, just did not capture my attention.

Must read!

Pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this and have been having a hard time putting my tongue on why I was so charmed by it. The urgency in this book is all but nonexistent, but you aren't truly looking for a problem to arise, as there are so many large problems..? There is one paragraph towards the end where a therapist tells the narrator that her problems aren't as manageable as she makes them seem, and this was a sort of vindication for me. This is difficult to accomplish, and this author makes it look easy. The first-person voice and the characterization make this narrator the kind that becomes a comfortable old friend and stays in your psyche.
