I didn't know beautiful prose about melancholy could be so boring, but here we are.

I'm sorry, but I guess I just didn't get this book. It was a tedious read, overwritten and pretentious. Sure, there were some pretty sentences, but I soon got tired of every character constantly obsessing with their failures and entertaining thoughts of death. Now I don't mind reading darker books, but to have a book full of characters advocating suicide as a solution to their problems..way too depressing.
