⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Didion‘s writing is stream-of-consciousness perfection. The shifts between first- and third-person, also perfection. A brief book with short chapters, Maria‘s current state of being in 1960s California unravels quickly. She‘s a bit of a mess, but you love her instantly. Something about this reminds me of Franny & Zooey by JD Salinger; a compliment I don‘t give lightly. Sullen, intense, and just exquisite. ⬇️
