Good Material by Dolly Alderton
3.0

I have an outlier opinion I guess, but I didn't like the ending, skimmed it, and I hated Jen. Andy is fine. His droning on and on about the breakup just reflects poor writing. There is almost no other plot. The things that happen read like vignettes. There is no build up. Still something about it was compulsively readable -- maybe just me hoping something was about to happen. Which didn't. Ending with "Jen's story" was just a cheap trick.
