This book is very very good. It is the first time I ever felt like an author truly captured the complexity of friendships that continue into adulthood. While there’s an insane amount of love, there is also jealousy and resentment in some cases. She did such a good job with that, I really enjoyed it. 

I also think the way that the way the characters discuss creating utopias in fake worlds was very interesting and I really enjoyed it. Obviously this led to the pivotal point with Marx and what happened, but I think it’s such a strong argument in this book.
