Review:

I thought it was funny, until I got to the 40-odd pages of suicidal ideation. Those were creative, but distressing.

1. I intended to read this quickly. [Pro-tip: It's easy to read if you just read the first sentence in each paragraph. You'll pick up the important bits of what you missed later.]

2. She focused on fashion, clothes and appearances. At first, I thought this was just a stylistic trait for the book Later, I felt it had much more to do with the underlying narrative arch.

3. Jewish/Catholic. Is this a thing? Probably more of a think when she was writting than right now.

4. At the beginning, I was trying to skip to the madness. Then, I realized it was there already. Visually. Already there.

5. Idioms?

6. Yale?

7. And Constantine. What's up with him, right? User or loser?

FYI: R/ I'm reading this as a non-woman.
