Great story. A bit cringey with the fictionalised sex scenes and well known people but I like Sittenfeld’s no-nonsense approach to writing said scenes. I liked playing ‘what if’ and I found it quite funny at times. It wasn’t all glowing and fan-girly, there were moments where I really had to take a step back and think: ‘wow, that was *questionable*’ or ‘wow, that was morally grey!’ But I appreciated that.
It was actually inspiring and made me mourn for what the world could have had the past four years. (Funnily enough I’m writing this in the early hours of January 20, 2021.)
