A bit cartoonish but overall an enjoyable read: twisty enough to maintain attention
The little mysteries pop up and are resolved relatively quickly, but new ones pop up to continue the forward momentum of narrative
The main character is kind of dumb for a while and the author does not understand the mechanics of doing a PhD
Do they say the title in the book? No

i feel like this may have worked better for me if ingrid was in undergrad and not a phd student - she felt very naive and immature to me and her revelations about racism just felt very surface level, like…shit my friends and i were thinking about when we were in college. idk even the mystery aspect of it was just fine to me but not that twisty or surprising aside from the central premise

A wry and irresistible novel that touches on cultural appropriation, performative activism, and the battles of academia.
