No One Is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood

2.0

this book definitely wasn't my cup of tea. i think form was a bit on the nose. yes, i understood it was most likely to showcase the onslaught of information we take in by being online. but i feel that maybe this could have been done a little bit differently. while i did like her writing style, it wasn't strong enough for me to really enjoy it. i struggled so much to take anything in. i could read a paragraph twice and not be able to tell you what i read. part one was excruciating for me to read. i ended up just skipping most of it. it really didn't matter that i did as well. it was way too abstract, there wasn't anything concrete about the plot. i felt like i was grasping at air. part two was a lot better, but not by much. it seemed like we had an actual plot, but i still couldn't concentrate on the story. finishing this was like pulling teeth. i thought the concept was cool. but other than that, i would never read this again, nor would i recommend it to anyone.
