Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner
2.0
reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

So surprised that the female protagonist is written by a woman. Felt like a surface level attempt to write a character who is deep and has a past, but doesn't actually present in an interesting way, just talking about her fake boobs and making comments about not getting attached. I don't need to like the main character to enjoy a book but I do need them to be believable. Nothing about her felt real or had any depth. Didn't enjoy the bizarre mix of musings on human history or stars mixed in with a plot that doesn't go anywhere. Would not recommend.
