This story felt a little undercooked. I was very interested in the story at times but I’m not sure what the story was trying do. I’m not even sure how to review this one.

christmas book reading continues -- i could see this as a logical successor to Sally Rooney's plain but waxing style of writing, I think it could have been like 30% shorter, i would like to never hear the term 'nihilistic millenial fiction' ever again, and I am tired of the genre containing meditations on thinness (this is not a huge part of the book, but its in normal people too, and it kind of just sucks?). Anyways...it was fine. I liked Edith, a lot. Give me Edith's book!
