**just did trigger warnings and this book has almost all of them**
First things first if you are depressed or struggling mentally DO NOT read this.
It felt like it was supposed to be depression porn.
For some reason I couldn’t stop reading it? Like everything was just going to horribly for this character I wanted to see the drama? Root for her? Hope things got better? I don’t know.
There was some things in this book that seemed from now and not when this book was set, like pop culture things I guess. And the ending of the year seemed very unrealistic just like a switch flipped. I don’t know.
This was like a fever dream. I put me in a reading slump and also made me kinda depressed/existential. I’ve heard that its supposed to be like what new york was like pre 9/11 but it’s focused on basically one character and 9/11 doesn’t come up until the last like 2 chapters.
Maybe because I don’t remember 9/11 I don’t understand. But I just don’t get how this severely struggling person is supposed to represent new york. I don’t know. I also didn’t really read the back of the book before starting it I just kinda went in because people recommended it, sorta how I did with normal people, LOL and I hated that book too
