Super cool, absurdo read that was a page turner despite nothing really happening in terms of plot, but I am someone that often prefers a good character study over plot. Really enjoyed it.

I don't like how a character's race is only mentioned when they're poc. Not sure if intentional as book is in first privileged-white-woman but even if it is it's too subtle for most white readers and maybe even a few poc readers to pick up on imo if you're super used to all white cast or always assume that anyway. Although this behaviour/racialisation of others/centering of whiteness ofc suits MC and the critique of rich white American privilege.

I feel calm and connected with the character after finishing the book. Bleak and aggressively unfiltered at times

Oh man, idk what to feel about this book, but I definitely liked it. The first chapter is definitely the slowest one and hardest to get through imo, but after that, things don't stop!
It's not as erratic as I thought it would be, but it certainly kept me reading/listening.

And that ending?? What the heck was that ending?? I rly liked it but the last chapter left me really fucking sad omg,,,
