This is actually the second time i read this book but the first time was in april of 2020 when i was going thru my reading a book a day during quarantine phase so i have pretty much no recollection of anything i read. The only thing I really remembered from my first read through was Hong Kong, and the way hk was described in this book is exactly how i see hk in my head. Complete with the British bankers and the Cantonese and the white people and the escalators and skyscrapers.
Anyway! I definitely see why this might not be the book or character for everyone but it sure was the book and character for me. I thought it was deeply funny and very self reflective and insightful and also very relatable. Like most of the things Ava did and said i was like yeah ok fair, even the bad things. I think it's probably because Ava is 22 and I am 22 and i guess that's just how all 22 year olds are.

Decent commute listen. Liked the tefl bits & Julian’s reaction to fact that she’d never been to London.

I was confused for most of this book. I knew what was going on, but I struggled to understand where the book was going. I did not particularly love the main character, and the ending had me mad until the very end. Mad and slightly confused
