We never know how hard it just might hit us within a year, a week, a month, even a decade. This book brings out so much of the craziness of life, or the chaos. The pettiness, the karma, the resentment. Woman problems written by someone who is not a woman but nailed even so. We first meet Dolores as a happy, care-free child, but when her father leaves Dolores and her mother unexpectedly her life becomes a downward spiral of anger and depression. This book isn't perfect, its characters are not perfect, nothing here is perfect, it's an ugly gaping mess coming undone. Shes Come Undone follows Dolores and her struggles with health and behavior problems from childhood, through adolescence and into adulthood. It's messy, it's horrible, it's a book I thoroughly enjoyed because each kick was her rolling downhill, she'd hit the bottom and we'd have her kicked again, hemorrhoid cream from rough anal sex, crying all night and hating her reflection, people dying, her dreams gone, she sank and sank and sank until she floated. Her life is rife with bad sex, bad partners, obesity, abuse, loss, and her wondering how life can be any more shit, then slowly climbing back within the last chapter. She's a flawed woman, terribly flawed, her situations and experiences are awful and depressing, this book in general is awful and depressing.ĭolores is our main character, the book has us follow her from age four to forty. Dolores is very hate-able, very pitiable. This book is about a woman being kicked down a hill again and again and hitting the bottom.
