i think subconsciously i always knew i didnt want to move to nyc though like The Fantasy is always appealing but reading the words 'trailer park-themed bar in chelsea' in this book solidified that further
#txt#it's a very good book fucking whirlwind of a read though#idk if having it being in first person made it better or worse#very much read as not a stream of consciousness it was much too intentional for that but it was very hard to discern from what timeframe#or position the narrator was writing from especially with it being non-chronological#like it doesnt read as recounting memories that connect in some way to the next one from a point in the narrator's future#the experiences are being lived through and the emotions described as something thats happening at the time of writing#which is something i always struggle with concerning first person point of view#along with undefined timelines like the scenes themselves as they are written are very short but comprised together they make up like#six months of a relationship and boom all of a sudden theyre not just fucking but theyre going through the 'i love you' and breakup stages#which i THINK is intentional considering the character's proclivity for those kinds of cycles#what i liked the most was the descriptions of the recovery center and the ones of childhood#but i dont want to shy away from the romantic relationships bc thats like (arguably) the messiest part of the character#if i have the capacity for it i'd like to look at the usage of time bc i really do think thats the most intriguing part of it#or maybe it's a genre marker that i just dont know about lol
