Jade Tarbania’s Reviews > Her Body and Other Parties: Stories > Status Update

I am not enjoying this as much as I thought I would. I have to read a lot of my books on audio because my 15 month old is clingy as heck and I got to the second short story and nothing makes sense really. It feels like this was definitely not truly meant for an audiobook.

After finishing the first story, I was so confused because what do you mean we don’t learn the reason behind the green ribbon? And then I got it. The husband wants to know so bad and her son sees it as just another part of her. We’re not supposed to know. It’s just a ribbon, she’s just a woman. It’s just a part of her. That was a brilliant way to illustrate the point.
