Full Immersion

I liked the concept of this book, the incredibly unique way to express post natal depression. I just think this was too slow paced for me and it took too long to get to the good parts

This was way more fun than it had any business being.

3.5*

This novel appears to be drawn from the author's own experiences of postpartum depression. It doesn't tiptoe around the subject, or indeed anything else, but it's brutally, unflinchingly, honest, and unsurprisingly CW'd up to the eyeballs. It's extremely raw, with some absolutely intense scenes of visceral body horror. But by the end, it's also cathartic, full of the exhausted peace that comes after a violent purging. It's not an easy read by means, but it is ultimately a hopeful one.
