I adore Sarah Manguso -- I've read six of her books and there are VERY few writers I can say that about. But alas, this one just didn't work for me. It's possible I made a mistake by listening to it on audiobook (vs all her others which I read on paper). It just sounded like one long rant and although many aspects of the terrible relationship sounded perfectly believable, I just wanted to shake her and shout "Stop it!", Bob Newhart style. https://youtu.be/ZyT-c0Zycnk?si=Ww-p22CVBt0eXrHY
