I don't know, I just thoroughly enjoyed this. It felt special in style and construction, and yet it was in a way easy to understand and really tapped into the anxieties of my generation in a funny, sometimes hyperbolic, sometimes awfully real way. It's not like an awful lot happens, but sometimes I really crave that type of read. Definitely recommend. 
Here's what I texted my partner after he asked what I thought about the book: "5 star read -
nothing really happened in the book but i really liked the writing style and construction. really comfy way of reassuring my climate anxiety"
