This was completely unhinged and I enjoyed every second of it. I truly never knew where we were going but we were going there fast

Turns out that a story told from the POV of a narrator who has a traumatic brain injury that affects her memory, causing her mind to wander down every imaginable tangent at least 5 times and forget things constantly, while only having significant thoughts about when the next time she can use a swimming pool will be, is an exercise in frustration.

I’m a huge fan of Marcy Dermansky. She is one of my favorite writers and I have read all of her books. This book gave me the “Red Car” vibes which remains my favorite book of hers. Allison, the main character moves to some beach in North Carolina to start a new life. She faces a traumatic event there and this book deals with the aftermath of the event. As with her other books, I never knew what to expect. I was just on an edge the whole time. I was rooting for Allison the whole time. I loved the ending so much. It was just the perfect ending to this book. This was such a thrilling, fun and enjoyable read.

I'm going with four stars because it held my attention and interest the whole time. But I cannot go five because I'm just not sure I can say that I actually like it. Odd right? Compelling and also disorienting.
