4.5
A thoughtful and melodic and at times confounding book about friendahip and the most noble way to love and life and.. how a person should be. Part autobiographical, part fiction, Sheila Heti has a style about her books that draws you in and keeps you. I didn't always understand and I didn't always love the moves the characters made but I did want to stay in this introspective and sometimes funny and always unforgettable version of the world.
