Once More, With Feeling by Sophie McCreesh
2.0
Once More, with Feeling sadly left me empty. We have an early-twenties protagonist who is self-centered, insecure, and struggling with addiction. She thinks everything is about her and simultaneously, that she doesn't matter. Usually this is the kind of book that speaks to the darker things inside of me, or times when I was younger. Jane spoke to nothing and no one but herself.
While the writing maintains a flat, dead-pan style throughout, it did not add to the story for me. What I did enjoy (or who) was Kitty, Jane's shitty friend who was somehow less shitty than Jane. While they were toxic together, Jane was worse on her own. I appreciate what the author was going for and I liked the idea of the plot, but this one missed the mark for me.
