Just spent 10 mins trying to untangle the timeline here on pen and paper with a calculator and realized it’s all fucked up and doesn’t make sense and contradicts itself in major unresolvable ways. This book is so sneaky in its concern with the unreliability of memory. Was sold as a confessional in the intro but I am beginning to feel I myself am 7 and have been brought to a meeting of the Liars’ Club

So so good. I love that she calls attention so often to the faultiness and warped nature of memory. Lends a sort of unreliable narrator feel which is so thoughtful and interesting in a memoir context. Also the way she writes about masculinity is like, so heartwrenchingly tender

Tried to read this a while ago and I think maybe it just wasn’t the right time. Now it might be— books that fell beyond my understanding even just a few years ago so often strike me now as so tender and funny and true and at least that’s evidence of some degree of personal growth and change if little else is, Ha Ha
