3.5
This is one of those first-person POV books that makes me feel like I’m the main character (who is never named). I can’t say I liked this book, but I was fascinated and wanted to keep reading. While I didn’t get the absolute chaotic ending I wanted, it was still a shocking end. I think the takeaway for me was a reminder to enjoy all the small moments of life. This book made me feel anxious and feel weird about sleeping. I did like the absurdity and irony in her storytelling. I really like the author’s writing style, it seems academic and polished. I do think this book is 200 pages too long and would have done better in shorter format, like The Stranger.

Don't read if you're in a "low" head space, or questioning your existence. Not the kind of catharsis you'd need.imds's review against another edition
