I liked it OK, but I think it was slow to start; and the part with her dressing as Babe the blue ox in a rubber suit and doing tricks underwater? I though that was ridiculous. A mermaid I would understand, but not an ox.
That turned out not to be a pivotal plot development.
I did like Patrice. I like that when a rape was attempted upon her, she escaped, and immediately told her mother everything, and cursed the guy who did it.
I liked the character of Millie Cloud even better. A studio room, a hot plate and electric kettle, and a space heater, and she was set. That’s the life for me.
I like this quote: “You cannot feel time grind against you. Time is nothing but everything, not the seconds, minutes, hours, days, years. Yet this substanceless substance, this bending and shaping, this warping, this is the way we understand our world.”
