A brilliant commentary on contemporary life. 

From social media and influencer culture to religious guilt and climate anxiety, Willis covers just about every hot-button topic that makes the world feel bleak. I’m usually not a fan of book with unlikeable protagonists, but Amber and Kevin feel so very real, and give a really insightful look into the different ways people deal (or fail to deal) with existential and intrapersonal conflict.
