A review by halfdracula
No One Is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood

emotional funny hopeful sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes

Read this in one sitting and cried a lot toward the end. I loved Priestdaddy, and here Patricia Lockwood again exercises her unique ability for accurate depictions of what it’s like to be a modern woman (and, it should be said, also Thom Yorke, whom I was thinking of before she wrote his name). Strange and beautiful and thoughtful.
