Vacuum in the Dark by Jen Beagin
3.5

this is so weird and i can't decide if it's in a way that i like or not. this is a book about a woman called mona who is a cleaner who moves to LA after a break up with her bf (who she refers to as mr disgusting) and it's separated into four different stories each about a different client of hers. like i don't have any commentary on this book other than the fact that it is just so so strange. i really loved the dry tone but at the same time it was a pretty boring read if I'm being honest, it's one of those books where nothing really happens. this is technically a sequel to a book a read last year, "pretend I'm dead" and the title of that makes more sense now but you don't need to read that book to enjoy this one. i definitely enjoyed this one more than pretend I'm dead but i also didn't particularly like that one. idk i don't really have more to say tbh. 3.5 stars
