Boring and shallow. One-dimensional characters and the prose is unbelievably flat and empty. X does this. X then does that. X eats food. Food is like this. X finishes their plate. Y gathers the plate. X watches as Y gathers the plate. Throw some misogynistic comments and fantasies about violence in there apparently just for the giggles. Dear god, someone put me out of my misery.

Feels emphatically modern… likes it’s trying to be gritty, real, unadorned. Tackles issues of sex, domestic violence, class, young love, mental illness, and suicide.
