It took me a bit to get into this book, but once I understood what it was trying to do, and that it was doing it well, I really enjoyed it. We get follow Millie, a photographer with anxiety, OCD, and depression, through various moments in her life from childhood to adulthood as she gets to know herself, and figures out how to exist in her body. I loved getting to know Millie and understanding the sensory experience of her anxiety. There were times when the author was describing a dream or dreamlike state, but I thought she was still describing reality, and that that confused me a little bit. The nature writing in this book is beautiful. I’ve never been to Virginia, but now I kinda want to go. I’d recommend this book to someone who wants to better understand what it’s like to live inside the mind of someone with anxiety.
