3.0

One of the many sad smart white girl novels of this current literary age. Didn’t hate it, didn’t love it, just felt like I was reading a particularly long New Yorker article that never made any major points (that haven’t already been made elsewhere) or emotional revelations. A meandering, neurotic meditation on Internet selfhood.
