A very short, quick read. Deeply and unrelentingly sad, but arresting: vivid and real. Doesn't stick the landing, though.
SpoilerAfter the hypnotic specificity of the main body of the book, the last chapter or two were a letdown.

Really enjoyed this. I felt like the inner monologue the narrator has regarding the nature of conversation in some settings was taken straight from my own brain.

I hope there’s a deeper message here that I’m just not getting. Reading this was like eating a bowl of soggy cereal. 

i enjoyed the narration but god millennials are so dramatically boring
