unfortunately, i feel like i'm no longer interested in reading books like these: unlikeable characters, little to no self awareness nor development, lacking plot, and fully enshrouded in negativity and complaint. i was holding out for some relief in the ending but was even more disappointed and upset. what a bummer, as it was well written.
wasn’t it for me. no plot & maybe i just didn’t get it.
definitely had me cracking up at time but overall not my thing

This booked seemed so promising but ended up falling flat. I’m not sure how I keep picking books where the dog dies from neglect but I’m not here for it. Onto the next.

i listened to the audiobook and it was stunning. same woman who narrated yellow face, and she is so versatile that i almost didn’t recognize her voice - and i just finished yellow face! the jokes and banter are delivered so delightfully in the audiobook.
this is a story of two sisters and a toxic parent. the main character is anxious and avoidant, which makes for an interesting perspective - and a comforting one, as i love consuming stories about people who let me imagine my own shadow side and unhealed parts act out what they would do. i (unfortunately lol) found the main character very relatable. i appreciate how real these two characters felt.
i wanted a liiiiitle more from the ending - i know why it ended that way, but i wish it left me feeling like even if it wasn’t resolved, at least a small conclusion.

This audiobook reminded me so much of a modern day telling of Girls - which seems to be what a lot of people have to say about it. Fun and fast paced, all over the place. I really enjoyed this!!
Slice of life books are sooo hit or miss for me but this one was SUCH a hit. Didn’t need much plot because the sister relationship was so fun to read. I saw another review that said this book is like if you rewrote HBO’s Girls but instead of friends you gave Hannah Horvath a sister lol (true).
