4.0

Miranda July writes fiction that gives you every single feeling across the spectrum. I found myself laughing, gagging with repulsion, enchanted by love, disgusted by relationships, and fascinated with the blurring of maternal love and romantic love. I don't really know how I feel about this book but I know that I devoured it and loved every minute of it.
