I laughed out loud and cried a bit more than I anticipated while reading this. Chelsea’s story is a beautiful one to witness and I feel better having read it.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 6%.
A bit too intense for my brain to follow in this year of casual/fast paced reading.

My first go at this book was with the audio version. Really interesting experience but I felt like I increasingly fell off due to just how insane the narrator is. A cool effect to listen to, being she’s peak unreliable narrator and the book is her stream of consciousness. I look forward to reading a physical version to see if that changes my rating.
