Yes
I'm going to miss Selin. At times I totally identified with her, at times I was completely baffled by her, but at every turn I loved that little weirdo.
Nothing happens in this book. Probably avoid if you need plot. If you're interested in 400+ pages of the meandering introspection of a 19 year old in the 90's, and a large cast of side characters saying strange or pretentious things, you'll likely enjoy this.
