Would you believe this is my first time reading Joan Didion? Yeah, really.

I can see why she’s a master of her craft. This story was personal and impactful.

I was most impressed by the way her references, stories, and metaphors overlapped so intricately. You are rewarded as a reader for paying attention. By the last few chapters, I was more invested than ever and enraptured by her rich tapestry of life and experience.
