One thing that is for sure is that Ling Ma knows how to write. This book read like poetry, it read like a fever dream, a memory. After finishing it I feel like it’s a book that everyone who reads it will take something different out of it.
Throughout the book I just got this sense of loneliness and even as the characters interacted with each other there was this air of loneliness and isolation throughout. Characters come off as selfish and detached, but if there is one thing I have to say I got from this book is that it encapsulates the feeling of existence for anyone who is in that millennial age range/slightly older. While I may not have personally connected directly with the characters I very much connected with the feeling those characters seemed to bring about.
