I had known about this book for years and put off reading it until now. It was both what I expected and what I didn’t. The book was way more bleak than I realized. Every second I read this book, I was filled with a deep feeling of existential dread and anxiety. Yet, I kept wanting to go back to book when I wasn’t reading it. It’s not a dense read, only 280 pages but there’s lots of line skips which makes it feel shorter.
This book has very little joy in it, but the few moments of joy you find are meaningful. I don’t know if can ever recommend this book though. At least not to anyone who wants to be happy.
