Jules is a deeply infuriating character. Her consistent self victimization and self putting would be more grating from a less talented writer. Tanner is able to show rather than tell the complex relationship between an older and younger sister. She especially captures the undercurrent of jealousy that tinges the cruelty that Jules treats Poppy with.

I can't help but hope for the best for these two characters. They're trying to break the cycles they been stuck in and there is some hope by the end that they just might.

I hope the 8 people waiting on Libby love character books, because this has zero plot. That’s not my preference and I was irritated so many times reading this. It feels like it’s supposed to be coming of age but is just a lot of complaining. I did laugh aloud a few times, so there’s that.

Way more vibe than plot. Exploring the relationship of the sister and the spirial of anxiety that feels very modern. Author is judge mental and lacks self awareness while feeling like she can figure out everyone else’s problems.

The authors voice comes through crystal clear through the well developed characters and arcs she’s devised for this debut novel. It leaves you with a lot to think about. But is, at the same time, very readable, quick, and even funny. It hits many of the right notes for me.

A few chapters into this book, I read a review that said this was like a Millennial Seinfeld, and that helped me to enjoy this a lot more than I think I might have. The characters are a mess, their interactions can be mentally--and sometimes physically--abusive, and the ending is WHOA (trigger warning for possible animal death), but I couldn't look away. I even laughed a few times at the disfunction.

This was genuinely hilarious. I actually cackled many times reading this book. I don’t imagine it being as funny if you haven’t been chronically online // aren’t a millennial & that might be a major self read but aw well. There’s a particular sequence with the narrator, a doctors office, and a goldfish that I was wheezing at. The main characters are a hot mess express. Everyone is so unwell and so toxic to each other, especially the two sisters at the heart of it all. It’s all a bit unfiltered and absurd. The narrator, Jules, is insufferable and has a deeply unsettling parasocial relationship with conspiracy-theorist-religious mommy bloggers on Instagram. No real plot just vibes. I loved it!

***tiny spoilers below***

The ending with the dog was so fitting but jarred tf out of me & was the one time in the book I actually couldn’t stand the main character in a visceral way, that’s the only reason it “lost a star” (if I have to use a rating system).
