No One Is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood

2.0

I don't live deeply enough in the Twitterverse to understand what makes this book great. There were definitely lines that made me laugh out loud, and others that I appreciated for their insight, but many times I just felt disoriented. I forced myself to read to Part II, knowing there would be a turn as the narrator, deeply embedded in the world of "the Portal," would face a real life tragedy, and it was the grounding of a family crisis that pulled me to the end of the book. I wish there had been more of a break in the form as the plot developed, but I definitely found it more relatable and worthwhile. Again, this book was not written for the likes of me. I'm glad I read it, but not something I think I would return to.
