although i didn’t necessarily fall in love with the main character, i can say that this is a good read for anyone grappling with late stage capitalism and defining their value by their career. it has a pleasant level of absurdity, and leichter does such a wonderful job of playing with language and literary devices in this novel. i just wish i cared more about the main character. leichter neglects to include any characterization of the main character. this is done intentionally, but the unintended side effect is that it was hard to become invested in the main character at all. her surrealist experiences and the absurdity of the plot are the primary focus of this novel, so if you are someone who likes to emotionally invest in the main character of a novel (like me), this one is just hard to get into.
