challenging emotional reflective slow-paced

4.0

Dense, meandering, and full of references to philosophy and psychology, none of which are strikes against but which give this book a very different tone than Fun Home. Most of the allusions happened to click for me, but it might be hard to follow if you weren't a kid who grew up on Dr Seuss's Sleep Book and had just been reading Virginia Woolf.

challenging emotional informative reflective slow-paced

4.5

Dense with psychology/psychiatry references, with a refreshingly large and sometimes obtuse vocabulary compared to some of the stuff I've read recently. I enjoyed its down-to-earth everyday happenings, described in big words, and the intense analyzation of emotions, abuse & neglect, the processing of that, and the decision to move forward in hope.
