I have such complicated feelings about this one.
I hated Millie. I also hated how much I related to her.

“I want to go home. But not to my apartment home, to my thirteen‑years‑ago home, to my hug‑my‑mother home, say I will make her proud, apologize, explain I can do better this time, be in my bed, be in my room, look at a magazine, plan my day, start not from scratch but just a little bit back, make different decisions, try to cultivate confidence, try not to coddle bad thoughts, be better, take the right things seriously, not say the things I said to James, try to hold on to a job, monitor my expectations earlier. Bring them way down.”
“There’s a lot of repetition in my life. No real routine or narrative, just a lot of repetition, and before I know it, I’m sitting in the break room drinking a cup of coffee (it doesn’t taste good) and staring at my phone again, scrolling, waiting for the motivation to get up and go to my desk.”
“I could have friends if I had more money. I could be easier to get along with if I had more stability. If I had a real job, it might come with more responsibilities. I guess I’ve been wanting those. I could be who I wanted to be—calm, cool, self-assured, self-reliant, independent enough to attract people who could enjoy my company because we’re all independent people doing what we have to do to get by.”
“I say almost nothing, almost all the time. Obviously, I recognize, in a grander sense, that I have a tendency to alienate myself and blow things out of proportion, and that these women are basically guiltless from a certain perspective.”
yes this book is 100% not for everyone, but it’s for me. this is what i wanted my year of rest and relaxation to be. what can i say i just love depressed apathetic women in their 20s/30s who just ruin their own lives. sometimes i just want to read about someone who is just bitter about their own life but have that fucked up superiority complex about themselves. look does everyone hate their jobs, yes they do and i love hearing people complain. i also just really liked how delusional millie is about her life and how she bought all of those new clothes, a gym membership, and kept making all these expenses to ensure this new life of hers. this was a perfect satire for me, the side characters and how their lives suck too was great, yeah this was just fun for me.
