I should have listened to the little voice in my head and gave up on this book after 30 pages.
The protagonist is a completely awful human being; a 21st century female Holden caulfield but way more annoying.

I really thought this was going to be a fantastic book based on the first few minutes of reading. I enjoyed the snarkiness of the main character and the crisp, punchy prose. I even enjoyed the concept behind the pet library, which is a completely hilarious concept and where I think the story should have stayed.
Then, the character turned into a completely reprehensible human being. Worse than Machiavellian, not even a character you love to hate, just a character you want to punch in the face as you read on about her sucking the life (and money) out of everyone she meets. And it ended by completely falling on its face, which I guess makes as much sense as the complete lack of plot.
If you're really into reading about awful human beings with zero depth, then this book will be right up your alley.

haha. Possibly was just in the mood for a highly irreverent book. Sara Levine gets the award for the most unlikeable, narcissistic character in history!!
This was interesting, that's for sure. A look into the lines that get blurred between fiction and reality? A comment on how you can't get lost in one single interpretation of a book because there's no one true meaning? I don't know, this was interesting.
OH boy, the description of this book made me think it would be deeply relatable - and honestly maybe I could do with more BOLDNESS, RESOLUTION, INDEPENDENCE & HORN-BLOWING - but this was more unhinged than I anticipated.

Hilarious, then dark, and all over-the-top in a completely believable way. I love slim, brilliantly executed books like this.
