mysterious reflective sad fast-paced

I wanted more from the ending, or I would have been a 5. I enjoyed her writing style.

“Here is the mark of a person who has read too many stories: We think excitement ought to beget more excitement. We think action will outdo itself with more action, that each explosion of great and singular activity will be followed by yet another, even greater one. This is not how nature works, of course. In nature, a period of great activity is followed always by a period of stillness, an interval in which dormancy and death are indistinguishable to the naked eye.Think of the calm before a storm. Think of the calm after.” Pg. 55

i seem to be reading books about lost 20-somethings, and i think that the plot also gets lost somewhere in this book. or quit?

where did the search for the marmoset go? and we just release caring about our older sister, after the narrative spends so much time with her? and what of the affair? and the main character's future employment? ....

i'm not sure where this book was taking me, other than to give in to the gentle ennui of living. meh
