Dark, Salt, Clear

I gave it a go but I couldn't get into it. Lots of parts where she explains an idea or feeling by way of what other writers have said, which felt a bit like reading a term paper. Lots of trying to philosophize, which I ended up skimming until finally I was just skimming the whole thing, and what's the point of sticking with a book if you're just skimming?

such a sharp writer on the line, but for me, the book never built to the promise of its prose. after 100 pages, the chapters began to blur together, and even a non-chronological structure didn't help to pull an overarching narrative out of her experience. some precise, poetic impressions, but failed to coalesce into anything more.
