This book explores two millennial sisters who hate each other. Both don’t like their current circumstances but don’t do anything to really fix it. Jules is obsessed with tradwife mommy influencers peddling mlm products and dangerous ideologies. Poppy is obsessed with themselves and whatever illness they have. This book discusses mental illness and other related topics. I think this book is an accurate take on what the millennial experience is.

Genuinely hilarious. A true dramedy, full of current pop culture content which feels self-referential rather than dating but still anchoring the book in the just-right time for the story to work exactly as it does, all while telling a timeless story of woman- and sisterhood. What a treat!!
“Having a sister is looking in a cheap mirror: what’s there is you, but unfamiliar and ugly for it.”
