I found this book kinda rough to get through because of the way it’s written in almost full tweet, meme language. I’m glad I made it, it had a lot of silly lil nuggets of truth about the current cultural moment and the end made me unexpectedly cry.

This read like a movie script and somehow contained too much and too little detail? The style was hard for me. Interesting to see a fictional picture of the time, I wish I could’ve been more “in it”
