2.5

A weird little book about secretive ferocious wildness of Silicon Valley marriages. Not my favourite from Handler but once again his prose really is delightful. Felt like it was leaning too hard on too many metaphors, there were just a few too many plates spinning in the air for it to cohere narratively. Read Why We Broke Up instead.
