This was...harrowing but beautiful. I loved the narrative style and felt I could really relate to the madness of trying to put yourself in someone else's shoes to justify things that have happened only to realise that doing this cannot change their perception of events. It is a gutting read but it will stay with me for a very long time. 

I think for some it's stalkerish behaviour towards the end. But I really felt that what came through was that sheer desperation to reach some resolution with someone who you have loved and you believe has loved you. It speaks to me of intense anxiety and that's manifested in the desperate need to see her mother at all costs.
