It seems I’ve aged much better than this book.
What once seemed so angsty-cool and relatable in my 20s now comes off as mostly pathetic and relentlessly self-absorbed. I found myself wanting to smack every last one of the male characters and then give a therapist referral to the women who keep putting up with their sh*t.
I do like the very end. Kudos to Hornby for that. But too little too late.
