lgiery's review
I found the writing pretentious, and the characters didn't resonate with me, perhaps because they use unneccessarily obscure language and are bourgeois pricks?

Dit was echt zo onnoemelijk saai en de personages waren vreselijk nietszeggend.

Exciting times they were not. I have no many issues with this book, I'm not even going to allow myself to get angry again as I review it.
If you are thinking of picking it up because you like [a:Sally Rooney|15860970|Sally Rooney|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1534007127p2/15860970.jpg]: Avoid it.
If you are triggered by people with colonialist mindsets: Avoid it. Especially if you cannot fathom why someone from a former colony and who considers herself communist can be such a capitalistic, colonialist, self-centered... person. Ugh! Such a whiny, frustrating character.
