milennial sugar daddy propoganda!!! /j
in this book a television host who literally does stuff with a 16 year old (i dIdNt KnOw sHe WaS 16" is idolized and excused for his actions by the other characters. it is repeatedly said that he, a 68 yr old man, loves young women including the 29 yr old protag. 
so he sucks.
the protag is an insufferable privileged milennial that wanted to experience what being poor was like so she moved to nyc. in the book, she becomes flirtatious and sexual with a 17 YEAR OLD BOY she repeatedly refers to as a child. 
maybe the author was doing all this for irony, but she really seemed to be taking herself seriously so idk.
it's just gross, the characters are bland, unlikeable, and problematic, and the plot goes nowhere except "oh i fucked an old man and now my life is changed for the worse" oh btw the sex scene was DISGUSTING.
but anyways, this author is very talented and i loved the way she described things. the book is just.... yeah...
