I can see how purposefully crafted our narrator is -- a blonde, waify model-type with endless funds, apathetic to her loveless family and relationship. She is the beautiful container of everything nasty and mean, addicted to cocktails of prescribed pills. She seethes with hatred any time she encounters her only friend.
This is a sweeping commentary on millennial absurdities, meaningless lives, isolation from society, sexism, pharmaceuticals and other synthetic relief. The desire to be seen, even in insanity.
You'll like this is you want something trippy, dark, that takes you out of your own self-pity and hatred just by comparison.

The main character is terrible. Her best friend is pathetic. Their dynamic is annoying at its best and completely destructive at its worst. There's little to no plot, and there's a 5-line long imagery collage of random things, names, places, activities, or thoughts like every other paragraph. That gets a bit exhausting to read at times.
But I think that's the point: materialism, the ownership and manifestation of things and more things is at the focal point of American capitalism. It is its driving force; the desire of more, until the Earth starts regurgitating everything we have consumed back up again.
