A really unique book, presented as a fascinating and believable stream of consciousness. The main character is elusive and knowable all at once which fits the fragmented style. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that the layout was sometimes a bit too confusing and it was tough to know where to focus my attention. I also don’t think this book will be for everyone. Check the triggers before you pick it up

this free-form half-poetry visual-writing book is how my mind thinks. There are always minimum a dozen entirely different thoughts or conversations or whatevers on a page and you have to balance between them - which do you read first ? Do you read one line of each ? Do you read in sections ? Must read the all-caps first ? But what if you miss something ?
Rebecca Watson's stark depiction of how insidious trauma can be over the course of only one day is truly beautiful and harrowing.
If I could give six stars, I would.

This book portrayed the feeling of having something you need to say but just not being able so, so well. At first I hated the structure but it fit in so well with the theme, especially towards the end.
