You Exist Too Much

This book raised my heart rate every time I was reading. It very effectively transferred the feeling of anxiety from the main character to me as the reader, but that effectiveness didn't feel enjoyable. Even with the character growth by the end of the novel, I was still frustrated with our character. It was definitely an exercise in understanding and embodying the complexity of enmeshed families and relationships. I almost want to re-read it, but I also am so happy to be done with the stresd that this book made me feel.
