Lucia Tramonte

I cannot commit to say what the book is about as it is so many things. It is about relationships; identity; pain and noise. The narrative is intoxicating; outstanding. The author makes you taste vividly the drugs and the pain killers and the numbness to a point that you cease to feel the space around your reading. Metamorphoses and constants. The rebirth of a person who decides to be define herself not by otherness but by destruction or deconstruction. As she peels herself with new prescriptions, the narrator makes us travel through the lives of the ones she defines herself against. The portrayals of her mother, her father, her best friend and the not-boyfriend are just as good as the pacing of the heartbeat of the narrator. The book cannot be reviewed. It must be read.
