i liked this book. it was slow at first and kind of hard to tell the point. i’m not sure i get the point but the book was definitely enjoyable. the characters were complex and flawed. it felt like falling into a snapshot of someone else’s life, like hearing a gossip story of a pivotal point in a friend’s life.
Millie is working as an RA and she’s trying to save up to buy a house. Agatha is a successful author and researcher who just got out of a long term relationship and is running away a bit. Agatha does an interview with some residents in Millie’s dorm and, fascinated by their lives, comes to an arrangement with Millie where she sits in her dorm room and eavesdrops on the girls living next door. Agatha spends the book in an ethical gray zone but quickly crosses the boundary into unethical. She publishes “interviews” with the girls based on their overheard conversations and without their consent. She sleeps with Millie, trying to convince herself that there wasn’t an inherent power imbalance because Millie initiated. Millie loses herself in this situationship with Agatha and neglects her RA duties, leading to the eventual climax of the book where her residents have a crisis while she’s in her room hooking up with Agatha, and didn’t pay enough attention to mitigate the crisis before it happens.
Again, I’m not sure I get the point, other than that people are flawed and complex. But this book was entertaining and I’m glad I read it.
