Although each fragment/chapter may seem sort of random at times, I think each one gives such a startlingly realistic vignette of key moments for Fenfang, some big and dramatic and others quiet and reflective. Sure, there are repetitive scenes, but each one is different in the sense that they illustrate tiny moments of growth and change throughout her life, little steps forwards in a new direction. One of my favorites is the fragment of Fenfang preparing for her new job in an office, setting alarm clocks and worrying about her outfit and trying to figure out the inane office dynamic only to quit the same day and move to the next part of life. It's SUCH an in-your-twenties-with-no-"Big Life Plan" moment and it felt so relatable!
