This book gives me the screaming heebie-jeebies partly for that reason. The rest of the reason is down to the premise from the start; you're disempowered and mentally out of it and your life might never have happened. I read the thing in beta, was unable to offer useful comments at all, and had to leave Jo's reading at Wiscon because of existential horror. I still cannot even.

(I like her writing! Lots of the middle was very good! But aaaaagggghhhhhh.)
