The book lost its plot after 30 pages and it was a drag to read. I didn't care about any of the characters and found them very one-dimensional. There were tangents about writing and the meaning of something, but they dragged along with this empty story. The final chapter connects the underlying threads of plot and feelings, which were kind of interesting, but were wasted if you look at the story in its entirety. This wasn't for me at all.

okay... i was kind of getting into this, all of the commentary was really interesting and the mystery elements were compelling... Until the final 2ish pages. huh😠what do you even mean. This is about a woman called mona (🤯🤯) who has been nominated for a fancy writing award that will be presented in sweden. it follows her for a weekend of panels and hanging out with other writers all the while she is trying to work out where the strange bruises on her body are from. I'm annoyed caused I really loved the prose and I liked how the book was kind of boring lol but then the final pages just confused me and made me feel like I'd just wasted all my time. What a flop. If you read this don't read the last 5ish pages cause I'm not speaking hyperbolically it really ruined the entire novel for me. 3 stars

I don’t even know what to say. I was expecting so much more from this book and all I got were random sex scenes, little-to-no character development, and a main character who is unbearable and like any other female character in distress (addiction problems, no recollection of events that happen to her, and cold personality)
Really had to force myself to finish it
