This story felt less complete to me than Dept. of Speculation, but I love Jenny Offill's writing so much I still devoured it!
a three hour highly enjoyable depression nap

incredible and strangely written book which filled me with despair.
the best part of this book was the obligatory note of hope at the end.

It was interesting and thoughtful, but not beautiful enough to have such lack of plot
This book was very millennial, in a bad way. Jenny Offill is obviously a talented writer and I'd love to read something of hers with more narrative than this navel gazing short story.
I really wanted to like this book but I just couldn't get into it. I forced myself to finish because we're discussing it in book club tomorrow night. The format and storytelling just never worked for me.
