Loop by Brenda Lozano

Ishan Vashishta’s first review of the year

really liked it
Written as journal entries of a woman waiting for her boyfriend to return from Spain, kinda just stream of consciousness where similar thoughts/motifs return in varying contexts

Reminded me a bit of Weather by Jenny Offil or even maybe Bluets
