man I don’t even know what to say, as a somewhat ambitious person I had so many ‘I can see myself and I don’t like it moments’. every character was just so full of life but also impossible to feel like you actually understood their multitudes. every relationship was complicated but not contrived. jesus I will be thinking about this novel for days.

I really wanted to like this book. I felt at times the author thought up exciting or complicated word combinations and forced ways to use them when it wasnt necessary. And character Jules, get over yourself!

A little back and forth on this one as a three-star or four-star book. Loved the beginning and liked the finish. In the middle, however, there were places where it felt like it was dragging. Gave it four stars because I cared about the characters at the end.

"And didn't it always go like that -- body parts not quite lining up the way you wanted them to, all of it a little bit off, as if the world itself were an animated sequence of longing and envy and self hatred and grandiosity and failure and success, a strange and endless cartoon loop that you couldn't stop watching, because, despite all you knew by now, it was still so interesting."
Amazing. Absolutely amazing. I started reading this book and around page 150, I put it down and decided to read another book. I am very happy that I picked this book back up. This book left me with no questions. It was all answered throughout the book, except did any of the friends receive any money. However, I think that was more of my psychology that I was bringing to the book. This book is going down as one of my favorites.
