“Belonging was as much about who claimed you, as what you claimed to be.”
Thank you NetGalley and the Publisher for this ARC in exchange for my fair and honest review.
I came into this expecting a tongue-in-cheek satire about academia, sexuality, and murky relationships and was really taken away by the layers of sincerity alongside some laugh-out-loud, comedically messy moments.
This book really struck me. The characters were so rich and unique, even as seen through the singular POV of the unnamed main character.
Ambition and lack of direction play a tender tug of war as we watch her create a ridiculous plot in the name of research that sends her, and us, into a slow and manic spiral.
This book is what I wanted The Idiot to be. It is so clever and funny and sad and lonely all wrapped in 100 dates.
I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future.
