Oddly, for Glass, a comparatively straight-forwardly written novella for the most part. Some of her more specifically stylistic writing does appear at points, and as ever to deliberate effect, but there’s a feeling of wanting to more directly make a point in this novella about a young woman’s battle with cancer and the way that turns her into a different person, the wish that she could be a different person, how life may different if that were the case. Heartbreaking in just the right ways.
