I have a complicated relationship with The Pink Institution. The best way I can describe it is that I became begrudgingly invested in the story. I didn't really like the content at all, but I needed to know what happened next. If I don't watch myself, this post is going to turn into a hatefest and I don't want that. The book was definitely thought provoking, but the way the way it was written was off-putting to me.
On page 58 was where I became interested in the plot. Saterstrom used the same vocabulary describing Azalea's actions to Aza as she did with Willie's mother's actions to Azalea herself. The use of cyclical action intrigued me. I also ended up having to make a family tree because I kept forgetting who people were.
The book that this most reminded me of was the Crank series. I tried reading it, but it was also using poetic style to write a novel and that just isn't something I enjoy.
