I really like how she portrayed the main character, with all of her insecurities about aging, but the off-branches about “the new generation” felt a little pedantic and overdone. I guess I was also expecting either a Lolita thing or a My Dark Vanessa vibe, which it was not. It kinda just skirted the edges of if.  I also felt that the ending kind of came out of nowhere.
it felt to me that the fire was just an excuse to end it sooner, and that it didn’t really wrap up the story.
 It just feels like there’s a lot unsaid.
