In bed, the weight of the night will sit on my
chest until it threatens to crush me altogether.

Wow, the plot of Mister Tender sounds intriguing and I continued to be intrigued even after I read the First Impression. Alice reminds me a bit of Lisbeth Salander as she talks about working out, and being very disciplined, not sleeping, etc. I love how the author throws something completely odd at the reader, without immediate explanation. Like "The air even
seems heavier here, and sometimes I think that’s due to the few
thousand bodies buried in my mother’s backyard."
