I really wanted to like this book. I really did! It had some funny characters, although the satire is so bleak I wouldn't even call it satire anymore, just dystopia. The lead character is supremely unlikeable and that's exactly what we want. I was really into the first half - and then I don't know.

Suddenly it seemed that the author realised she forgot to include a plot, and there we went, adding a very confusing "love" story, a terribly bland betrayal and a cast of suddenly perfectly-identical characters.

I just didn't understand what she was trying to do after the Big Thing, and grew frustrated and sad to see such a good first half turn into this mess.
