Perplexing and frustrating, not sure if I truly understood what the author was crafting here. I wish readers could post reviews without a rating as I'm not sure it feels fair for me to rate it. I did finish the book! But I went back to the book description at least three times in the process of reading it to try to better understand what was going on. It felt like there was a distinct disconnect between the book description and the actual contents.
To me, it feels incredibly experimental. I read a lot of unusual fiction, but this was a huge challenge to follow the flow of the narrative. It was perhaps meant to be that way - an embodiment of the way that long COVID can affect the brain and capacity to function. It felt almost incoherent at moments. The scattered references to both popular culture and literary canon were difficult to unravel - some seemed as if they were trying to be funny but I'm not sure it came through for me personally. I felt that the author was working through real situations that may have happened with experiencing long COVID and traumatic health situations with her partner. Putting those experiences into fiction would be so challenging. Much respect for the author who is clearly creating something one-of-a-kind here, just not the best fit for this reader!

Great book from the writer of no one is talking about this. Fresh perspective and unique take on what she set out to do. Cannot wait for this to come out and be discussed by a whole bunch of readers.

A disorienting and fascinating reading and an apt follow up (and a sequel of sorts) to No One is Talking About This. Absolutely recommend to any Lockwood fans.
