This is what I wanted Frances Ha to be; I found myself more willing to go along with the aimless ride with Rachel than I was with Frances. Still couldn't touch Queenie though ❤️

A present day narrator looking back on a particular moment in th eIrish contemporary milieu. Liked where it went, took a lot of twists to get there. Central decision point of the novel was a great knot of justice and emotion. MC comes off a bit whiny, but it's a bildungsroman and that's kind of the point. Gutted at the codependency descriptions. 😭

“When something good happens to you at that age, you can’t settle with the notion that it’s a one-off. You want it to be the beginning of a tradition. That’s how I felt about that night: I wanted it already to be a memory, a foundational one, a first evening of many similar evenings. I wanted future nostalgia, a rear-view, years-old fondness for something that had literally just happened.”
