I really enjoyed most of the book and the commentary that came along with it, however, despite the ending being foreshadowed, it still felt clunky and did not make sense to the story and situation. It also wrapped up quite quickly without important conversations that would have been interesting to see.

I could see what it was trying to do but it also achieved none of it, instead being an incredibly annoying, boring and depressing book. The continuity of the language and communicative abilities of the characters and what they could say to each other made no sense. In the book as a whole there was no character arcs or anything continuous at all. The relationships between the characters with awful with one moment they get along and the next, the main character walking away. The author couldn't decide whether she wanted the child to be a child or acting like a grown-up in a child's bodies. None of the themes supposedly discussed in the book had any depth or actual conversation, just Wikipedia page summaries and one character discussing it once. Everything was also described in such horrid ways; I don't want marzipan described as 'fatty' and I never want this author to describe a body again, especially not a grown woman watching a child shower!!!! This is now the time I would say one positive thing about a book but I actually cannot summon a positive emotion I felt to any part of this book.

Left me feeling despair but without any substance to make it worthwhile.
