The square is empty and silent.
There was a slight disconnect between this book and I at first. It felt very millennial, but I ended up finding myself in the existential anxiety and everyday angst of an incredibly well written woman through her early teens, late twenties and mid thirties. It’s all so very lonely. From the boardroom meetings, to the critiques of social media (that felt jarring to me more than once), and finally to a planet that may or may not exist. I just can’t help but love it.
"I came here because I wanted to be reborn, but I just carried on living."
