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.

this book may intrigue you if you want to get in the head of a distant main character who takes and takes and takes, and it always left with nothing.
