I was really interested in the beginning, the parts about working in media etc. Then the MC went to her hometown and it became much less interesting to me. They finally went back to the social media/work stuff, and it picked up a bit, but ultimately this was kind of disappointing.

Enjoyed this audiobook that was recommended by others in a reading group I am in. Novel detailing a variety of losses common in young adulthood and the questions they raise. Even though there are supports around the main character giving (in my opinion) sound advice, she chooses the very relatable, "thank you but no thank you I will learn this by experiencing it myself and not just taking your word for it" route.

The pacing was weird throughout, the ending was rushed and I wish there was a bit more resolution. But that said I loved the book and the complexity of Mickey.
Ugh. This was a solid 3 star book but it got .25 extra for black lesbian representation. I have discovered books about characters moping without their lives together are not for me (think MYORR). Of course Micky was living unemployed and broken up (?) but the weeks of her moping around and doing nothing were not it for me. I felt like the book didn’t have any plot. One thing about queer women is that they will always go back to their first ex situationship. Micky’s decisions were aggravating to witness. Did not do it for me. Didn’t resonate with the media heavy aspect of it either. Elaine calls Micky not because she actually missed her and is concerned about her life but because she hadn’t been posting on socials? Can we live without technology? Maybe I am just cynical.
