Suuuch a relief to read something of the brat pack’s bibliography that isn’t grotesquely macabre and disgustingly gruesome see Brett it CAN be done. Well sort of anyway it was still pretty bleak. some hilarious moments but overall pretty bleak. Especially the reminder at the end that she is literally my age. Terrifying. Very fun writing style that felt reminiscent of catcher in the rye. Whipped through it.
