“I can’t understand why people don’t like to be seen as objects when to be seen as an object is to be desired. This is why I keep coming back”She knows that there is something lacking in her life, and she persistently misidentifies it, bouncing from one potential source of happiness to another.
“It’s disconcerting when you realise that getting what you want doesn’t make you feel better”There is an audience for this book, and it isn’t me. That’s not to say that I didn’t get anything from reading it - rather that there was no part of me that could identify with anything that Iris was going through. All I could really do was feel sorry for her. Perhaps I got a deeper understanding of the internal struggle related to certain types of mental health issue. But for that I need to totally rely on the authenticity of what the author is portraying (which I have no reason to doubt) rather than being able to draw on any of my own experience.
