i’m a bit disappointed in this book honestly. i don’t know what i was expecting based on the blurb, but i found this book very… vapid.

cassie was a fine protagonist. i felt i couldn’t connect with her or even sympathise for her, as her thoughts never went beyond a few common themes. i understand the point is that her life is boring and she’s reaching the end of her rope, but that makes for a boring story.

the book felt like it was going nowhere, with no plot or even a semblance of a story. 

the writing was nice, but the writing seemed repetitive, and flat. 

there felt like there was no tension, yet at the same time this was not a relaxing book.

i don’t even know what else to really say because this book honestly gave me nothing. like i don’t even really think i can say i liked it? because what is there to like. it’s 245 pages of rambling. 

i get what this book was trying to do and say, but by writing a book about how silicon valley and dead end corporate jobs are taxing and horrifying and depressing, you get a book where your reader is reading mf about how someone else is bored with life, and then your reader becomes bored. full stop. 

i had high hopes for this, and was hoping at some point it would get better, but it didn’t.
