this felt like such an accurate representation of what it's like to be alive right now, particularly as someone in your early 30s. the circularity, the navel gazing, the obsession with connection and social media, along with the timeless foci on grief, death, relationships. this honestly felt like i was reading a limited series on HBO or a movie by celine song. fingers crossed it gets turned into one of those :D
