A truly gut-wrenching read. Simultaneously feeling so hopeless but so powerful, Winterson is an absolute master of the craft. HIGHLY highly recommend!!
I finished this on the plane home today, and it did in fact make me Cry In Public™️ (which I must admit, is an average experience for me). But, this hit home for me! A book about toxic love, insecurity, and depression. Also, why are all the books I've read by Irish writers so sad? Are y'all ok?
I bought this book months ago, tried to read it and gave up because for whatever reason, it seemed boring. Tried again yesterday and wasn’t able to put it down. It was perfectly paced and gut-wrenchingly intelligent and made me want to curl up on my couch and read it all over again.
Total masterpiece. Nolan put words together in a way I’ve never ever seen before. Please please please read this book.
Unembellishedly vulnerable depiction of the author's depression. honest in an extremely rare way, and feels a bit like someone tearing into your soul if you're depressed
This is a game I play with myself when I'm done washing my hands at work. I'll see how far away I can shoot the "bathketball" (paper towel) into the garbage can. And yes I keep track of my stats (87% 3-point accuracy and have yet to miss a shot from mid-range)
