Dept. of Speculation

The narrative jumps between moments and thoughts, which felt both intimate and disorienting. Did this approach deepen the themes or make the story harder to follow?

The small details about daily life and inner thoughts felt so real. I'm curious if others saw this as a commentary on how we navigate intimacy today.

The book feels like a series of observations rather than a traditional plot, which makes me wonder what drove Offill to tell the story this way.
