This was such an interesting collection, centred around being a woman, and the dissociation required to get through the day to day. I would 100% turn into a cloud if I could and float around with no responsibilities. It felt like Canada's answer to Watching Women & Girls but far more speculative and full of magical realism. The audiobook was great, I'm getting a real kick out of short story collections as audios as of late.
