finally finished and wow wow wow i love you ali smith, what a wonderful writer you are.
had me pure (no pun intended) tearing up at the end.

i read more than i thought over my busy weekend away but forgot to track lol.
i’m rly enjoying the themes of gender in this book it was something that i just wasn’t expecting & it’s really well written - from the grandad, the sister, the partner and the greek mythology.

really really enjoying this so far, it’s beautifully written & very thought provoking tbh.
novels that choose the stylistic choice of “no speech marks” usually bother me but i’m actually finding this pretty easy to read so props to you ali smith, you’re a master of your trade.

“it’s like putting the lunatics in charge of the asylum” and she so right, even more so today.

wow okay so grief has ruined him. that was a twist i was not expecting but has made absolutely everything fall into place for me.
the way that it’s been written from chapters 1-3 felt quite messy & hard to read, but after that chapter 4 reveal everything feels cleaner and easier to digest; to me at least. i found this rly interesting.
