Unabridged Audiobook
Underwhelming for me after all the hype.
Boring ! If I was her therapist I would have payed her for skipping the appointments. If this author wrote with a sense of humor, and wit, I would have thought that she was trying to emulate Erica Jong's classic - Fear of flying (1975) which I’d recommend, or contemporary Gillian Anderson - that is if you are interested in the pop culture references to the middle class woman sexuality and related issues.
The narrator captured the personality of the character perfectly
Huge disappointment! When will women stop abandoning themselves for men’s attention?! You’d think by 45 she’s have a bit more experience in life or some bit of wisdom to pass on as hitting menopause but again it’s all about the obsession of staying young and fuckable for men. Do better !! What an embarrassment for womankind ! Miranda July has failed me. I’ve loved everything she’s done, up until this point. The desperation is humiliating. Imagine losing your whole self over trying to seduce a young married man?! Smdh. I wouldn’t have that. No self esteem. She certainly hasn’t aged well.
A great and unique work. Could have safely been cut down by 1/3 by a skilled editor. But a great listen nevertheless.
This was 100%, hands down, the absolute best audiobook I’ve ever listened to, and I’ve listen to a LOT of prize winning Audiobooks. I don’t even know how to put into words my feelings about this book, I wish I did, Miranda July deserves an award.
100 Percent loving this.
Protagonist kept my attention, sometimes I thought she was kind of awful and other times I empathized . It’s been many years since I last viewed or read something by July, brings me back, in a good way.
