No One Is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood
4.0
Alive and unstable is a phrase used to describe this book and I think, it's quite apt.
This book is written in short paragraphs, and sentences and is mainly an internal monologue of a nameless woman. I think being a person who struggles with being chronically online and attempts to let go of "being in the know", I understood it and vibed with it.
But what this book inherently captures outside the absurdity and satire of our current social culture is Love and Grief. It's haunting. I did bawl my eyes out, especially when it hit hard with everything going on in the world. The apathy, the resistance, the fight for humanity.
