      In and Out of the Goldfish Bowl is autobiographical and horrific, and felt quite realistic and vivid, but I'm not sure it was a good idea for me to read it, and I'm not sure I could ever say I enjoyed it. It's about rape and abuse and drug-taking and suicide and self-harm. Suddenly, at the end, the protagonist's grandmother's death and writing save her. It didn't work for me, at that point, and the rest of it wasn't -- to me -- enjoyable.
