i feel like this is a book that is defined around its structure, and i must say that i felt like this structure fell flat sometimes. its experimental, so i appreciate that, and when it hits it really hits (choose-your-own-adventure). however, i think the entire book suffers at some parts. its kinda sad knowing where machado is now after reading this book too. as a lesbian, i also really enjoyed how much she talked about how much pressure that queer women in specific have to be perfect and the denial of abuse.
