The pacing kinda fell off a cliff near the end. I wish more space had been devoted to Freddy making up for all the times she'd been a terrible friend. As it is the side characters end up feeling like window dressing in her story which was like. Precisely the problem since the beginning and it doesn't actually get fixed.

I had no idea what this was about beyond being queer and I was a little surprised but it was good. I've only had bugs once - salt-and-vinegar crickets - and this makes me want to try again.

I feel like I'm not truly well-read enough to understand many of the literary allusions (I'm familiar with Wilde, but I've not read and Proust, Camus, or Joyce...) but it was still interesting. I feel liked I get more out of it if I knew more, tho.

There is so much in this memoir I relate to. It makes me feel very seen.
