Nothing good to say so I shan’t. Idk why I picked this up tbh sounded interesting to explore procrastination but it turns out reading bout procrastination irritates me more than the act of procrastinating itself! Maybe that was the author’s intention? If so, well done.

Few books capture the nothingness of an iphone addiction as well as this one does. No books have spent so much time on poop and wiping.

The Novelist is a completely pointless book, but therefore it’s a delight.
The character spends a morning trying to write a book. They’re a few chapters into the draft and when reading over decide it’s arse. Time to change the tense and do a whole new draft, and then have a poo, get in a Twitter hole then wander to the fridge la la la la la. I’m not kidding that’s the structure on repeat.
I think from that tiny description alone you'll be able to tell if it's one for your TBR or not.

i will sadly never get the hours of my life back that i spent reading this book!
it was so dull, but aside from that, the worst things were
-excessive talk about pee and poo. like c’mon, there’s a limit and he crossed it on basically the second page.
-the fact that the author made a fictionalized version of himself into a character (not the narrator, but someone the narrator looks up to).
this was actual garbage
