the most unrealistic part of this novel is that she’s still alive after that much ketamine

uhhhh…..what. good shock factor/originality and had some outwardly hilarious moments but…..like what even. tbh it wasn’t even the guy stuff that got me but she deserves jail for the cat. giving it a 2.5 for the most iconic kuwtk quote at the end.

i'm going to be thinking about this for a while. my favorite blend of easy to take at face value but PLENTY of themes to dig into if you want. written impeccably, the best unreliable narrator i've ever read. this is what "my year of rest and relaxation" and "bunny" wanted to be in my opinion. this feels like the blueprint that books will copy for years to come. only thing i didn't love is the mother and how she was written. she was extremely one dimensional for being such a big part of the story, and every other character being really multi-faceted. is that the point? perhaps, but it still wasn't my favorite thing. overall, banger introduction to get me back into reading.

readingwithbia's review against another edition

O livro parecia muito interessante, estava muito entusiasmada para o ler. No entanto, já li mais de 60% do livro e não aconteceu nada interessante, parece apenas a descrição demasiado pormenorizada do dia a dia de uma pessoa problemática. Não me senti envolvida na história, e passei 224 páginas a prever uma reviravolta que nunca aconteceu. Estou muito desiludida.
