We follow our FMC, Millie, in her day-to-day at a temp job. She seems incredibly depressed, judgmental, and out-of-touch. She desperately needed a good therapist, and probably some form of medication too. This felt like My Year of Rest & Relaxation (similar vibes) but without the dashes of hope sprinkled in. To me, it felt like the author was trying to showcase that there are so many things we as humans care about that are just utterly unimportant. Or maybe it was just highlighting the mundane - this cycle of waking up everyday, doing the same thing, going to this dead-end job. I’m not sure what the intention here was, but it left me feeling unsettled.

Overall, this was a super quick read, I was intrigued and invested enough to see where it went.
