didn’t realize this was about 21 year olds and partying. that’s fine and probably what some people are looking for but i don’t think i am
Really wanted to like this, but felt a bit dry to me.
Low three-star book… whatever that means haha I think I was just never a party girl and I’m nowhere near that stage of life and felt zero connection to the characters.
This had a crazy number of excellent lines. You'd expect a novel about stateless young women constantly on the brink of financial ruin and starvation, partying their way through fashionable scenes for meals, to be maudlin. Instead the girls were clever and completely unabashed, and so was the novel. It was full of observations so true they hurt and witticisms that made me chuckle. I loved it.
I dog-eared some beautiful passages about girlhood (six, to be exact), but ultimately I ended up finding Happy Hour extremely boring.
I'm more into a plot driven tale vs. a character study, and this is certainly a character study of a very intriguing young woman. It took me a while to get into the book but I wonder if it's more the narrator vs. the content of the book as I listened to this one.
4.5/5. "No plot all vibes". This book feels like sipping a crisp aprerol spritz on a patio on a hot sticky summer night. It is the pure romanticization of the day-to-day lives of two party girls traveling through their early 20's. Beautiful, eloquent prose and endless bookmarked quotes about women finding themselves through friendship, flings, and fun times. The perfect summer read, and one of my most recommended books to all my girlfriends!
Very character driven, and the main character was mildly interesting. I liked the diary style of the prose, but it was just too boring. I couldn't connect with the characters enough and it just dragged on and on.
