It was okay but I had expected more after having read [b:The Girls|26893819|The Girls|Emma Cline|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1492065338l/26893819._SY75_.jpg|42856015] a few years ago.

Really nails the worst aspects of millennial narcissism, the protagonist gets away with more than most because she’s beautiful. The flatness of the character is intentional, it seems like a satire. I think accepting that is key to enjoying this book.

really enjoyed this despite it taking a bit of time to finish! busy bee. i understand that the book sorta exists in a metaphysical manner but i really wish
we got the simon reunion/ or the arrest. or maybe her passing out
that i wanted. but i liked it
