I read this in an hour and a half, wich doesn't happen to me really often, but this was just so beautiful. The writing was amazing and for me, someone who barely reads poetry, also easy to understand, but at the same time it wasn't too simple. 
Maybe I just read it too fast, but I didn't feel that much of a connection to Jane throughout the book, wich I thought was kinda disappointing, but that was really the only thing I didn't like. Amazing book, and got me out of a reading slump so plus points for that.

I want so much-to be versatile, charming, warm, deep, intelligent, accomplishing something, loving,
fooling around, giving instead of getting, cheery not driven, sure not uncertain, possessing not anticipating, answers not questions

Amazing book- incredible use of poetry. Very unique and hauntingly beautiful. Really cool way of using different types of media to tell one cohesive story! It was interesting to see how she broke down the story into sections and how much that helped me get into the right mindset. And the ideas around the murders of women fleshed out through the book opened my eyes to how fucked up society’s perspective of these incidents are and how murder can affect the victims loved ones/how loved ones deal with it individually.
