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

I read the physical book of this while also listening to the audio which was a great experience. I often struggle with poetry style writing, but this was really engaging.

Conveyed in a stream of consciousness, Rebecca Watson presents us with a day in life of a woman, capturing just how mundane everyday tasks are, while also diving into the mind of a victim of sexual assault. 

This book is REALLY unique. The form itself is creative and challenging, but what it offers is even better. It allowed me to really connect with the story that the character is telling. I read it in one sitting, which seems rather fitting given the book tells a story of day in life. 

I think requesting this audiobook was one of my best decisions this year - listening to author herself reading the story exactly how she intended it to sound made an entire experience even more special. I don’t think my mind could have done this book justice, but Rebecca Watson reading it certainly does.
